ROWENTA Variable steam control iron - Manual (Page 2)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the iron.
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to Minimum (Min) before
plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to discon-
nect 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 iron with water, emptying
iron or 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, ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta
Appliance 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 plugged in or
on an ironing board. Do not direct steam at people, animals or
iron clothes while they are being worn.
• 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.
• The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Rowenta
Appliance Company and may result in fire, electric shock or personal
injury.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is either a 1600 or 1700 watt appliance (check the appliance
for the wattage marking stamped on the heel). To avoid an overload,
do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. Cords rated for less amperage
may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
3. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household use.
