IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. 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 are closely supervised and instructed concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
4. Only use an iron for its intended use.
5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
6. Always turn the iron to MIN before plugging or unplugging the iron from the
electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull
from the power cord.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has
been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking.
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.
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. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing
board.
13. 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.
