Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
• Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface
may damage that surface.
• Do not iron or vertical-steam clothes that are being worn.
• Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will
stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap
water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes
conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam
ironing and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while
letting the iron steam. Press the Steam Burst button several
times to clean the vents. Then follow the self-cleaning
instructions on page 10.
