IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

Read all instructions.

2. 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including 
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, 
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely 
supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a 
person responsible for their safety.

3. 

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by 
or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that 
they do not play with the appliance. 

4. 

Do not leave iron unattended while the iron is connected or on 
an ironing board.

5. 

Only use an iron for its intended use.

6. 

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron 
in water or other liquids.

7. 

Always turn the iron to OFF (

O

) before plugging or unplugging 

the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to 
disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp 
the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.

8. 

Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool 
completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord 
loosely around the iron for storing.

9. 

Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before 
filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, 
and when the iron is not in use.

10. 

Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event 
the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible 
signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric 
shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified 
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly 
might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used 
after reassembly.

11. 

The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

12. 

When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface 
on which the stand is placed is stable.

13. 

Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or 
steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down—
there might be hot water in the reservoir.

14. 

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same 
circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

15. 

If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an 
ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating 
of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can 
result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care 
shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or 
be tripped over.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, 
and/or injury to persons, including the following:
