IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS IRON
1.
Use iron only for its intended use.
2.
To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or iron in water or
other liquids.
3.
The iron should always be turned to “OFF” before plugging or unplugging from
the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from outlet, 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 the 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 any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer service number for information on examination, repair or adjustment.
7.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
8.
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
9.
Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
10.
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.
11.
Your iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended.
Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.
12.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same electric circuit.
2.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13-amperage 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.
