SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
11.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
12.
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.
Other Consumer Safety Information
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.
