• T o protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
• T he Fabric Select and Steam Lever should always be turned to OFF and " " before
plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead,
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing. (For non-retracting models only.)
• A lways disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
• D o 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. Take it to an authorized
service center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
• C lose supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not
leave iron unattended while plugged in or turned on or on an ironing board.
• B urns 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.

• T o avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same
circuit.
• I f an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

OR RODUcTS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
