Read all instructions before using the iron.

When  using  your  iron,  basic  safety  precautions  should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To  protect  against  a  risk  of  electric  shock,  do  not

immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron OFF 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  allow  cord  to  touch  hot  surfaces.  Let  iron  cool

completely  before  putting  away.  Loop  cord  loosely
around iron when storing.

5. Always  disconnect  iron  from  electrical  outlet  when

filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron

has  been  dropped  or  damaged.  To  avoid  the  risk  of
electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contact our
Consumer  Service  Department  for  examination,  repair
or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.

7. Close  supervision  is  necessary  for  any  appliance  being

used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended
while connected or on an ironing board.

8. Burns  can  occur  from  touching  hot  metal  parts,  hot

water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron
upside down - there may be hot water in the reservoir.

9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.
