IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance
in water or other liquids.
3. The appliance should always be turned off before plugging or unplugging
from electrical outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect from outlet, instead
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces. Let the steam station cool
completely before putting it away. Wind up the power cord and attach it
with the Velcro when storing.
5. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet before filling or emptying
water and when not in use.
6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if appliance has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the appliance. Contact Consumer Services or take it to a qualified service
person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the appliance is used after reassembly.
7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do
not leave the iron unattended while the appliance 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 station upside down. There may be hot
water in the reservoir.
9. This is a 1500 watts appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate a
steam station on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with 15A rating or
greater 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 cannot be pulled or be tripped over. For any commercial
use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the
manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

steam station into:
- An electrical installation with voltage 120V. Connecting to the wrong voltage
may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your
guarantee.
- If the appliance is fitted with Polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other): to reduce the risk of electric shock, the appliance is fitted with
polarized plug. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
