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 a risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the iron,
cord or plug 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. 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
dropped, damaged or leaking. 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.
8 Do not leave iron unattended while
connected or on an ironing board.
9 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.
