Important Safeguards; Special Instructions - Westinghouse WST5019MEX Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
4. The iron should always be turned to the "MIN" setting before plugging or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead,
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before put-
ting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or empty-
ing and when not in use.
7. 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.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is
used. Contact Consumer Service for examination and repair.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near chil-
dren. 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 water tank.

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 15-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.
