When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
This product is intended for
household use only.
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.
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 assistance number for information on examination and repair. 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.
