When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
■ Read all instructions.
■ 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 to Off before plugging into or unplug-

ging 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 cordwrap when storing.

■ Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emp-

tying of water and when not in use. Be careful to avoid spilling water
over iron when filling.

■ Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the iron has

been dropped or damaged.

■ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron;

instead, take it to an authorized service center 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 iron-
ing board. Always position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if
ironing board is accidentally moved or cord is pulled. Always use heel
rest.

■ 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 water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize
hot water spillage.

■ Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
■ Do not use iron outdoors.
■ This product is for household use only.
