IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Use iron only for intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock,
do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
• The iron dial should be turned to minimum
setting before plugging in or unplugging
from the outlet. Never yank cord to
disconnect from the outlet; instead grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron when
storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electric
outlet before filling with water, cleaning, or
emptying and when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage to the iron or its cord, or if it's
leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not dissemble the iron; take it to a
qualified service person for examination
and repair, or call the appropriate toll-
free number on the cover of this manual.
Incorrect reassembly can cause 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 when
plugged in or on an ironing board.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
SAFETY FEATURES
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into

does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.

always be followed, including the following:
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron upside down—
there might be hot water in the reservoir.
Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize
hot water spillage.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliances by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• When standing the iron on its heel, ensure
that the surface on which the iron is placed
is stable.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage can
result in a risk of fire or electrical shock due
to overheating. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled
or tripped over.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal
of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire
or electrical shock, do not attempt to remove
the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please
contact the warranty department listed in
these instructions.
