IMPORTANT SAVEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
- Read all instructions.
- Use only iron for its intended use.
- To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or any other liquids.
- The iron should always be turned to the lowest position before plugging or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet;
instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
- Do not allow cord to touch hot surface. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
- Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying and when not in use.
- 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, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
- 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.
- 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.
- To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high voltage appliance
on the same circuit.
- 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.
- All repair work should be carried out by an approved service center.
- Make sure to unplug the appliance when leaving the iron.
- The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains;
The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is
filled with water.
- The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand
is placed is stable;
- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage, or if it is leaking;
- Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age
when it is energized or cooling down.
