IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always
be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the iron in water or other liquids.
4. 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.
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. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. Contact
Consumer Service for examination and repair.
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.
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 15-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.
