IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF ( O ) before plugging
or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying and when not in use.
6. 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. Call our toll-free customer service number
for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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.
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 10-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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may
damage that surface.
Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn.
Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
Before First Use
• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron
for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few
minutes while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast Button
several times to clean the vents.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with
tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes
conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke.
This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
