If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING RISK OF BURNING: Please be aware that when the auto shut-off
function is activated the soleplate is still extremely hot and will need adequate time
