IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE IRON.
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
3. 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.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet before filling the iron with water,
emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
6. 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. Contact
our Consumer Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
12. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
13. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
14. 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.
15. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another
high wattage appliance.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used with a
ground connection. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock due to overheating. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot
be pulled or tripped over.
