This is a household-type iron.
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.
Please read before first use:
• 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.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare iron for steam
ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting iron
steam.
When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1.
Only use an iron for its intended use.
2.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
3.
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.
4.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely around iron when
storing.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
8.
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable.
9.
Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near
children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected
or on an ironing board.
10.
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.

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.
