IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flatiron, 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. Loop cord loosely around iron 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. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
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.
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 a household-type iron.
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 modi-
fying the plug in any way.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may
damage that surface.
Before First Use
• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. See the
"Self-Clean" section on page 7 for more information.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with
tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes
conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This
will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
