IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the iron.
1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the appliance in water or other liquids.
3. The appliance should always be turned to Minimum
(Min) 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 appliance
cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely
around appliance when storing.
5. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when
filling appliance with water or emptying appliance when
not in use.
6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the
appliance has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the appliance
ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta Appliance
Service Center for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when
the appliance is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance
unattended while plugged in or on ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water
steam or hot soleplate cover. Use caution when you turn a
steam iron upside down. There may be hot water in the
reservoir.
The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by
9.
Rowenta and may result in fire, electric shock or personal
injury.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is a 1400 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload,
do not operate a high wattage appliance on the same
circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12- 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.
3. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household
use only.
