following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave appliance
unattended while connected.
3. To reduce the risk of contact with hot
water emitting from steam vents, check
appliance before each use by holding
it away from body and operating
steam button.
4. Use appliance only for its intended use.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
6. Never yank cord to disconnect from

disconnect.
7. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let appliance cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around
appliance when storing.
8. Always disconnect appliance from
electrical outlet when filling with water
or emptying, and when not in use.
9. Do not operate appliance with a
damaged cord, or if the appliance has
been dropped or damaged. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not dis-
assemble or attempt to repair the
appliance. Take it to a qualified service
person for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly or repair could
cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when the appliance is
used.

10. Burns could occur from touching hot
metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
care when you turn a steam appliance
upside down—there may be hot
water in the reservoir.
11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
12. 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.
13. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appli-
ance has a polarized plug (one wide
blade) that reduces the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into
a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modify-
ing the plug in any way or by using an
adapter. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
• Do not steam clothes that are being
worn.
• Do not use steam in the direction of
people or pets.
