When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
❑
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
❑
Use iron only for its intended use.
❑
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquid.
❑
The iron should always be turned ”Off” (refer to “How to Use” section)
before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect
from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
❑
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
❑
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or
emptying of water and when not in use.
❑
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, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a 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 while connected or on an ironing
board.
❑
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the surge
of steam — there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid
movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
❑
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
❑
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord rated at 15-amperes
and 120-volt, or 7-ampere and 220-volt 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.
