Please Read Before First Use:
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting iron steam.
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.
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.
2
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. 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 iron in water or other liquids.
4. 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.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.

AUTRES RENSEIGNEMENTS DE
SÉCURITÉ POUR LES CONSOMMATEURS
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour l’usage domestique.
Cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée. Ce type de fiche présente une broche plus large que l’autre. La fiche ne peut être introduite dans une prise que dans un sens. Il s’agit d’une caractéristique de sécurité visant à réduire le risque de choc électrique. Si la fiche ne peut pas être insérée dans la prise, la tourner dans l’autre sens. Si elle ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, contacter un électricien qualifié pour qu’il remplace la prise désuète. Ne pas essayer de contourner l’objectif de sécurité de la fiche polarisée en la modifiant de quelque manière que ce soit.
INSTRUCTIONS SPÉCIALES
1.
Pour éviter de surcharger un circuit, ne pas faire fonctionner un autre appareil à haute tension sur le même circuit.
2.
Si une rallonge est absolument nécessaire, un cordon de 10 ampères doit être employé. Des cordons d’une intensité nomi­nale moindre risquent de surchauffer. Il faut prendre soin de placer le cordon de rallonge de manière à ce qu’il ne puisse pas être tiré par des enfants ou faire trébucher.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
À lire avant la première utilisation :
• Lors de la première utilisation du fer à repasser, il peut sembler émettre de la fumée. Ceci cessera et n’indique pas un vice ou un danger.
• Lors des premières utilisations avec de l’eau du robinet, de nombreux fers crachent. Ceci se produit durant le conditionnement de la chambre de vapeur. Ce phénomène cesse après quelques utilisations.
• Les orifices de vapeur doivent être nettoyés avant la première utilisation. Préparer le fer pour le repassage à vapeur, ensuite repasser sur un vieux tissu pendant quelques minutes en laissant le fer dégager la vapeur.
8
Lors de l’utilisation de votre fer à repasser, des précautions préliminaires de sécurité doivent toujours être observées, y compris ce qui suit :
LIRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS
AVANT L’UTILISA
TION
1.
Utiliser le fer seulement pour sa fonction prévue.
2. Vérifier que la tension du secteur correspond à celle de l’appareil.
3.
Pour protéger contre le risque de choc électrique, ne pas submerger le fer dans l’eau ou autres liquides.
4.
Le fer doit toujours être éteint (réglé sur OFF/O) avant d’être branché dans une prise de courant ou débranché. Ne jamais tirer le cordon pour le débrancher de la prise de courant; saisir plutôt la fiche et la tirer pour la débrancher.
5.
Ne pas laisser le cordon entrer en contact avec les surfaces chaudes. Laisser refroidir le fer complètement avant de le remiser, et enrouler sans le serrer le cordon autour du fer.
6.
Toujours débrancher le fer d’une prise de courant électrique lorsqu’on le remplit d’eau ou lorsqu’on le vide, ou si l’appareil n’est pas utilisé.
7.
Ne pas faire fonctionner le fer avec un cordon endommagé ou si le fer a été échappé ou endommagé. Pour éviter le risque de choc électrique, ne pas démonter le fer.
Composer le numéro d’appel sans frais du service à la clientèle pour des renseignements sur l’examen et la réparation.
Un réassemblage incorrect peut causer un
risque de choc électrique lorsque le fer est utilisé.
8.
Une bonne surveillance est nécessaire pour tout appareil utilisé par des enfants ou près d’eux. Ne pas laisser le fer sans surveillance pendant qu’il est branché ou pendant qu’il est sur une planche à repasser.
9.
Des brûlures peuvent survenir lors du contact de pièces chaudes en métal, d’eau chaude ou de la vapeur. Adopter des précautions lorsqu’on tourne un fer à vapeur à l’envers, car il peut rester de l’eau chaude dans le réservoir.
