IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using appliance.
•
Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used near children.
•
This appliance is not for use by children.
•
Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped. Do not disassemble the iron. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair or mechanical
adjustment.
•
Do not place any part of the unit in or under water or other liquid. See
instructions for cleaning.
•
Do not use outdoors or when standing in damp area.
•
Use iron only for its intended use.
•
The iron should be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from
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 iron when storing.
•
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water
or emptying and when not in use.
•
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use
caution when turning the iron upside down as there may be hot water in
the reservoir.
•
Do not leave iron unattended while hot or connected or while on an
ironing board.
•
Position iron carefully on ironing board to avoid it being knocked over.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
•
This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is
absolutely necessary, a 13 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.
•
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
