If you need to clean the iron, unplug and allow to cool. Use a slightly
damp cloth and wipe down the outside of the iron. Do not use
cleaning agents or place the iron in water or cleaning fluids.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use verti-
cal Burst of Steam – there may be hot water in the water tank.
Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize water spillage.
When using Burst of Steam, always direct the steam vents away
from your body and others.
Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
Do not use iron outdoors.
This product is for household use only, not for commercial or
industrial use.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug and CUL,
CSA or NOM approval should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
Use iron only for its intended use. To protect against a risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid. The iron
should always be turned Off before unplugging from an outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron
cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around
cord wrap when storing. Always disconnect iron from electrical out-
let when filling with or emptying water and when not in use. Be
careful to avoid spilling water over iron when filling.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. If the product requires attention within the warranty period,
call the toll-free number listed in the warranty section of this manual
for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron;
instead, take it to an authorized service centre for examination and
repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause risk of electric shock when
the iron is used.
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near
children. Not for use by children. Do not leave iron unattended
while connected or on an ironing board. Always position iron care-
fully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally moved
or cord is pulled. Always use heel rest.
