IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
 
 
To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions 
and warnings. 
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be 
followed including the following: 
• 
Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use 
instructions in this manual. 
• 
Use iron only for its intended use. 
• 
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric 
parts in water or other liquids. 
• 
The iron should always be turned off before plugging into or unplugging from an 
outlet.  Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to 
disconnect. 
• 
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces.  Let the iron cool completely before 
putting away.  Loop cord loosely around cord wrap when storing. 
• 
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying water, 
and when not in use. 
• 
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working 
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or dropped into 
water.  To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron or replace 
supply cord.  For service information see warranty page. 
• 
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.  Always 
position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if the ironing board is accidentally 
moved or the cord is pulled.  Always use the heel rest. 
• 
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 water tank.  Avoid rapid movement of the iron to 
minimize hot water spillage. 
• 
To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, 
check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating 
steam button. 
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:  
• 
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on 
the same circuit. 
• 
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make 
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the appliance (wattage is 
stamped by the soleplate of the unit).  Position the extension cord so that it 
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
