IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
Read All Instructions Before Use
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
• The Fabric Select Dial and Steam Lever should always be turned to OFF before
plugging or unplugging from 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 water, cleaning 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
an authorized service center for examination and/or repair. 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 plugged in 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 – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
• If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the
iron serviced by an authorized service center.
• Your Oster

iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron
unattended. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel
rest.
• 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 cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Products Purchased in the United States and Canada
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug fits 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 defeat this safety feature.
