INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, in-
cluding 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 comple-
tely 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 connec-
ted 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 cord with an am-
pere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron
shall 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.
