SPECtAL INSTRUCHOMS
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
fire:
• To avoid any circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension the AC cord is absolutely necessary, use a AC cord rated a minimum of 14.2
amperes. The AC cord rated for less amperage may overheat and should not be used. Care should
be taken to arrange the AC cord so that it cannot be accidentally pulled or tripped over.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to your iron:
• Do not use water additives or substitute water such as scented water in the steam iron. They can
stain fabrics.
• If the Steam/Dry Selector is not at Dry position after using, remaining water will move into the
Soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time.
• Do not use the Steam or the Jet of Steam while the AC cord is unplugged, water will remain inside
the Soleplate and cause staining.
Do not use the Steam or the Jet of Steam while the Temperature Selector is set to “ 0 ”.
• Most tap water can be used in this iron. If water is very hard, distilled or demineralized water should
be used. Do not use water processed through home water softening systems because this water
contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron. Do not use water additives or substitute water
such as linen or scented water in the steam iron. They can stain fabrics or damage the iron.
• When adding water to the iron, please hold the iron firmly to avoid dropping, or it may result in injury.
• Do not set the Steam/Dry Selector to the steam position unless the iron is sufficiently hot to
produce steam, otherwise water will leak out through the vents instead.
• Do not use the “ Jet of Steam Button ” until the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light turns off
after setting the Temperature Selector to “ MAX ”. Hot water may leak from the Soleplate and
burns may be resulted, and it may cause corrosion.
• If synthetics are being ironed on a higher temperature level than instructed, not only will the
fabric be ruined, but the Soleplate will often be covered with the melted remains of the synthetic
fabric.
• Do not insert pins or wires to the iron. And please don't iron clothes with sewing needle or similar
thing.
