IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:
• Read all instructions before using appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used near children.
• This appliance is not for use by children.
• Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a damaged
cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service
center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid. See
instructions for cleaning.
• Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area.
• Do not use appliance except as indicated in these instructions.
• The iron should be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying and when not in use.
• 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.
• Do not leave hot iron unattended.
• Position iron carefully on ironing board to avoid it from being knocked
over.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13 ampere cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
• Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
