• 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
liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to the
minimum (min) setting before plugging or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to
disconnect from the 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 a qualified service person
for examination and repair, or call the
appropriate toll-free number. 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 reservoir. Avoid rapid
movement of iron to minimize hot water
spillage.
• The iron must not be left unattended while
it is connected to the supply mains.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-
outlet before the water reservoir is filled
with water.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure
that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15-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.
