Iron Safety
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
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 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
assistance number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment. 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. Bums 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.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
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!

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. This will clean the vents.

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.
