SAFETY INFORMATION
9. The plug and cord should not be allowed to touch the hot sole plate. Let
the iron cool down completely before taking it away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron for storage.
10. Always disconnect the iron from the wall outlet before filling with water or
when emptying the water after use.
11. To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate another high voltage
appliance in the same electric circuit.
12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating
equal to or greater than the iron shall be used. A cord 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 tripped over.
13. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. When placing the iron
on its Heel Rest, ensure that the surface on which the Heel Rest is placed is
stable.
14. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
15. The iron is for household use only.
16. To protect against burns or injury to persons, do not direct steam toward
the body when ironing or self-cleaning.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
POWER SUPPLY CORD
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
NOTE:
This appliance requires a minimum of 1200 watts* and it should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.
* May vary depending on model
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a
qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.
3. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use an extension cord rated no less than 10-amperes.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to
or be greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
Neither Westinghouse nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
NOTE:
· Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result, the iron may smoke
slightly when switched on for the first time. It will not happen again after a few uses.
· Before using for the first time remove any protective films or stickers from the sole plate
and the cabinet. Clean the sole plate with a soft cloth.
·
When using the iron for the first time, test it on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the
sole plate and water tank are completely clean.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the steam iron
2. Check the steam iron for any damage. If there is any damage, do not operate the
steam iron. Contact the Customer Satisfaction Center, see page 13.
3. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the
steam iron or over any hot or sharp surface.
4. The receptacle used for power must be readily accessible so that the cord can be
quickly reached and easily unplugged in an emergency.
