IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the
iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
8. 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.
9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high
wattage appliance.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere cord should be used. Cord rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot
be pulled or tripped over.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by children and other persons whose physical, sen-
sory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using
the appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure
that they can use the appliance safely.
12. Children should be supervised by the responsible person to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
13. the iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
14. when placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed
is stable;
15. the iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or
if it is leaking.
16. The iron must not be left unattend while it is connected to supply mains.
17. Always disconect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you leave the room.
18. For use in North America, the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 120-volt
position. For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector switch may need to be
placed in the 240-volt position.
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the flatiron. For connec-
tion to a 240-volt supply, use a suitable attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration
for the power supply receptacle.
19. Be sure dual voltage selector is in correct voltage position before operating. Before
plugging in, read the information about dual voltage operation contained in the instruction
section of this manual.
