IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Only use iron for intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron to MIN setting before
plugging in or unplugging from the outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect from
the electrical outlet; instead grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let
iron cool completely before putting away. Coil
the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electric outlet
before filling with or emptying water,
cleaning, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage to the iron or its cord, or if it's
leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not dissemble the iron; take it to a
qualified service person for examination
and repair, or call the appropriate toll-
free number on the cover of this manual.
Incorrect reassembly can cause risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave iron unattended when
plugged in or on an ironing board.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn the iron upside down - there
may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid
rapid movement of iron to minimize hot
water spillage.
• 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.
• 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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate an
iron on the same circuit with another high
wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a minimum 15-ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock due to overheating. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that
it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal
of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire
or electrical shock, do not attempt to remove
the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, in
order to avoid a hazard, it should be replaced
by qualified personnel or in Latin America by
an authorized service center.
