IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed,
including the following:
•
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE STEAM IRON.
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse iron in water or other liquids.
• The Fabric Select and Steam Dials should always be turned to off O/
before plugging or
unplugging from 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 iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when
not in use.
•
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. Take it to an Oster
®
Authorized Service Center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
•
DO NO
T leave Iron unattended while plugged in or turned on or on an ironing board.
• 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.
• If the Iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the Iron
serviced by an Oster
®
Authorized Service Center.
• Your Oster
®
iron is designed to rest on the heel rest.
DO NOT
leave the Iron unattended.
DO NOT
set iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.
• This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary a cord with the same amperage should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or
incapacitated individuals.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(For 120 & 127 Volts with two flat pins only)
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical
shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
