When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not
fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface.
Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn.
Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1.
Use iron only for its intended use.
2.
Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your appliance.
3.
To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
4.
The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never
yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5.
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop
cord loosely around iron when storing.
6.
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when
not in use.
7.
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. Call our toll-free customer service
number for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
8.
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.
9.
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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same
circuit.
2.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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.
