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. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual. 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 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.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD

Siempre que utilice su plancha, debe seguir algunas precauciones básicas de seguridad, incluyendo las siguientes:

❑

LEA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE UTILIZAR EL PRODUCTO.

❑ Use la plancha únicamente para planchar. ❑ No sumerja la plancha en agua ni en ningún otro líquido para evitar el

riesgo de un choque eléctrico.

❑ Siempre apague la plancha (vea la sección "Como usar") antes de conectarla

o desconectarla de la toma de corriente. Nunca tire del cable para desconectarlo, sujete el enchufe para hacerlo.

❑ No permita que el cable entre en contacto con superficies calientes. Permita

que la plancha se enfríe antes de guardarla. Enrolle el cable holgadamente alrededor del talón de la plancha.

❑ Siempre desconecte la plancha cuando la llene o la vacíe y cuando no esté

en uso.

❑ No haga funcionar la plancha si ésta tiene dañado el cable o si la plancha

se ha dejado caer y se ha estropeado. A fin de reducir a un mínimo el riesgo de un choque eléctrico, no desarme la plancha. Acuda a una persona de servicio, calificada para revisar y efectuar las reparaciones necesarias. También puede llamar gratis al número apropiado que aparece en la cubierta de este manual. El armar la plancha incorrectamente puede ocasionar el riesgo de un choque eléctrico cuando la plancha esté en funcionamiento.

❑

❑

Pueden ocurrir quemaduras si se tocan las partes metálicas, el agua caliente, o el vapor. Tome precaución al invertir una plancha de vapor ya que puede haber agua caliente dentro del tanque. Evite los movimientos bruscos para no derramar agua caliente.
