• Always turn the iron to MIN setting before
plugging in or unplugging from the outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect from the
electrical outlet; instead grasp plug and pull
to disconnect.

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
