IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
• Only use an iron for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical
outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet;
instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting
the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with
water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event 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
assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after
reassembly.
• Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not
leave the iron unattended while the iron is 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 – there might be hot water in the
reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another
high wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to
or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less
amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall
be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable; • The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the
supply mains.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you leave the room.
