IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to person’s including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
❍
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
❍
Only use iron for its intended use.
❍
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
❍
Always turn iron off before plugging or unplugging from the
electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron
from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the
plug to disconnect the iron.
❍
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool
completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron when storing.
❍
Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before
filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and
when the iron is not in use.
❍
Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for
examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
❍
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance used by or
near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is
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—
there might be hot water in the reservoir.
❍
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
❍
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
❍
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 are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high wattage appliance.
❍
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an
ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of
the iron should be used. A cord rated for less amperage can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care
shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or
be tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
