When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using.
Use iron only for its intended use. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquid.
The iron should always be turned off (refer to “How to Use” section) before
plugging into or unplugging from an outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from 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 cord wrap when storing.
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying
of water 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 or use the surge of steam — there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere and 120-volt, or 6-ampere and 220-volt 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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 electric 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 supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
