Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electrical 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 using
an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging
or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Fully retract cord within unit when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Contact an authorized service facility for
information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by
or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while 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 may be hot water in the reservoir.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
