When using your flatiron; basic safety precautions should always be followed

including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

3. The iron should always be turned to

"OFF"

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 iron cool completely before

putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or

emptying and when not in use.

6. 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. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.

Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. If the flatiron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced by qualified service personnel.

10. Your Sunbeam” Iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its

heel rest.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This is a 1200 Watt appliance? 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 IO-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.

FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way;

if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. *In

Mexico, the

iron runs at 127 Volts, 1350 Watts. If an extension cord is

necessary, a 13 ampere cord should be used.

BEFORE FIRST USE

When turned on for the first time, your new iron may give off a slight odor for up to ten minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the performance of the product, and will not recur.

Prior to first use, clean steam vents using the Shot of Steam” feature.

After cleaning vents, run iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any

residue.

When not ironing, always have steam dial turned to DRY (See diagram)
