IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF ( O ) before plugging or unplugging from outlet.

Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, 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 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 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. Call our toll-free cus-
tomer assistance number for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. 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.

8. 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.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same cir-

cuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is intended for household
use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safe-
ty feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obso-
lete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on
any other surface may damage that surface.
Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are
being worn.
Do not use vertical steam in the direction of
people or pets.
