IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1.
Use iron only for its intended use.
2.
To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3.
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.
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. Call our toll-free customer
service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjust-
ment. 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.
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.
This product is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
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.
