OThER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WArninG! shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by
using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
PlEAsE rEAd bEforE firsT usE:
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not
indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens as
the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing; then
iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting iron steam.
