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 into or unplugging from an 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 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 15-ampere 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.
