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 travel iron/steamer 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.

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.

When using your travel iron/steamer, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use travel iron/steamer only for its intended use.

2. Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your appliance.

3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the travel iron/steamer in water or other liquids.

4. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding soleplate pointed away from body and operating steam button.

5. The travel iron/steamer 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.

6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let travel iron/steamer cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around travel iron/steamer when storing.

7. Always disconnect travel iron/steamer from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

8. Do not operate travel iron/steamer with a damaged cord or if the travel iron/steamer has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the travel iron/steamer. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination and repairt. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the travel iron/steamer is used.

9. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave travel iron/steamer unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn travel iron/steamer upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

11. Be sure dual voltage selector is in correct voltage position before operating. Before plugging in, read the information about dual voltage operation contained in the instruction section of this manual.
