When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
❑
rEAd ALL inSTrucTionS BEForE uSinG.
❑
use iron only for its intended use.
❑
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquid.
❑
The iron should always be turned to “oFF” before plugging into
or unplugging from an 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 or
emptying of water 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 a qualified serviceman for examination
and repair. or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover
of this manual. 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 ironing board.
❑
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the
surge of steam — there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid
rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
❑
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
❑
if an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere and
120-volt, or 7-ampere and 220-volt 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. 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 modify the plug in
any way.
