13. 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 person for examination
and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.

iron in water or other liquids.
15. Never yank the cord to remove plug from the socket, instead,
grip plug top and pull to remove.
16. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron
when storing.
17. Always disconnect iron from socket when filling with water or
emptying and when not in use.

near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or
on an ironing board.

steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down –
there may be hot water in the reservoir.
20. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
21. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10 amp cord
should be used. (Cords rated for less amperage may overheat).
Care should be taken to ensure the cord cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
22. DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very
inflammable surfaces.
