IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
❍
❍
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 on the cover of this
manual. 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 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 is visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍
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
and 120-volt, or 7-ampere and 220-volt 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
