Important Safety Instructions - Black & Decker ELITE PRO Series Use And Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• 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 temp. dial should be turned to the 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.
• 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.
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 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 modify the plug in any way.
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.
