OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
• Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface
may damage that surface.
• Do not iron or vertical-steam clothes that are being worn.
• Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop
and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water.
This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This
will stop after a few uses.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing
and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the
iron steam. Press the Steam Burst button several times to clean the
vents. Then follow the self-cleaning instructions on page 11.
