IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
•
Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use
instructions in this manual.
•
Use iron only for its intended use.
•
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
•
The iron should always be turned off before plugging into or unplugging from an
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
•
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around cord wrap when storing.
•
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying water,
and when not in use.
•
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or dropped into
water. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron or replace
supply cord. For service information see warranty page.
•
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near
children.
•
Do not leave iron unattended while plugged in or on an ironing board. Always
position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if the ironing board is accidentally
moved or the cord is pulled. Always use the heel rest.
•
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 water tank. Avoid rapid movement of the iron to
minimize hot water spillage.
•
To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents,
check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating
steam button.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

•
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
•
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the appliance (wattage is
stamped by the soleplate of the unit). Position the extension cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
