IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be follo-
wed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a 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 unplug-
ging 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. Loop cord loosely around iron 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 drop-
ped 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 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 iro-
ning 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.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating nor-
mally. Disconnect form the power supply and have the flatiron serviced
by qualified service personnel.
10. For use in North America, the voltage selector switch should be pla-
ced 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 connection to a 240-volt supply, use a suitable attachment
plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.
11. 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.
12. This appliance was set at the factory to operate at 120 volt. Refer to
the Operating Instructions section of this manual for conversion to 240
volt operation.
