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 iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids. Do not
use the appliance in a wet environment (on wet
floor, near a sink)
3. The iron 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.

cool completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when
filling iron with water, emptying and when not in

iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the

the iron is used.
