IMPORTANT SAFETY
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, in-
cluding the following:
Read all instructions before using
1. Only use an iron for its inten-
ded use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF be-
fore plugging or unplugging the
iron from the electrical outlet.
Never pull on the cord to discon-
nect the iron from the electrical
outlet; instead, grasp the plug
and pull on the plug to discon-
nect the iron.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot
surfaces. Let the iron cool com-
pletely before putting the iron
away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron
from the electrical outlet before
filling the iron with water, emp-
tying the water from the iron, and
when the iron is not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a
damaged cord or in the event the
iron has been dropped or dama-
ged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the
iron. Take it to a qualified servi-
ceman for examination and re-
pair. Incorrect assembly might
result in a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used after reas-

sembly.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. In the event the malfunction in-
dicator goes on, the iron is not
operating properly. Disconnect
the iron from the electrical outlet
and have the iron serviced by
qualified service personnel.
10. To avoid a circuit overload, do
not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high wattage
appliance.
11. If an extension cord is abso-
lutely 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 can-
not be pulled or be tripped over.
