IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, in-

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
• Only use an iron for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
• 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.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely

not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for exami-

be hot water in the reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit
with another high wattage appliance.
• 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
