IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using the iron
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be follo-
wed, including the following:
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or
the base of the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned OFF 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 be-
fore 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 drop-
ped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the iron. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric
shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an iro-
ning 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.
• This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.
• This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for sa-
fety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, En-
vironment).
• This appliance is not designed to be used by children and people with
a physical, sensory or mental impairment, or people without knowledge
or experience, unless they are supervised or given prior instructions
concerning the use of the appliance by someone responsible for their
safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
• Warning ! The voltage of your electrical outlet must correspond to that
of the iron (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irrever-
sible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.
