When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
■
Read all instructions.
■
Use iron only for its intended use.
■
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquid.
■
The iron should always be turned to O/FILL before plug-
ging into or unplugging from an 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 cordwrap when storing.
■
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling
with or emptying of water and when not in use. Be care-
ful to avoid spilling water over iron when filling.
■
Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the
iron has been dropped or damaged.
■
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the iron; instead, take it to an authorized service center
for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
■
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. Always position
iron carefully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is
accidentally moved or cord is pulled. Always use heel
rest.
■
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 water
tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water
spillage.
■
Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flam-
mable fumes.
■
Do not use iron outdoors.
