IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
❍ Read all instructions before using.
❍ Use iron only for its intended use.
❍ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
❍ The iron should always be turned to oFF (0) before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
❍ do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. let iron cool completely before
putting away. loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
❍ Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.
❍ 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 service person for examination and repair,
or call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is
used.
❍ 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.
❍ Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the surge of
steam – there may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of
iron to minimize hot water spillage.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

❍ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
❍ 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to
prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b) longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in latin America, by an authorized service center.
