IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the
electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the
electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect
the iron.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before
putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron
with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in
use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event 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. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the
iron is used after reassembly.
7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children.
Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing
board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might be hot
water in the reservoir.
9. In the event the malfunction indicator goes on, the iron is not operating
properly. Disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet and have the iron
serviced by qualified service personnel.
10. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit
with another high wattage appliance.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating
equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord
rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to
overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled or be tripped over.
