IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging
or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Fully retract cord within unit when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying and when 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 an authorized service facility for
information on examination and repair. 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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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!

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
