IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
• Only use an iron for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
• Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from
the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from
the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to
disconnect the iron.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron
when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the
iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron
is not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for
examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
• Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near
children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected
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 might
be hot water in the reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit
with another high wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere
rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall
be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or be 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
