IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using the iron.
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1 1. 1 Use iron only for its intended use.
1 2. 1 To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or the base of the iron in water
or other liquids.
1 3. 1 Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet ; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
1 4. 1 Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around iron when storing.
1 5. 1 Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in
use.
1 6. 1 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. Contact our Consumer Service Department
for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when
the iron is used.
1 7. 1 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.
1 8. 1 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 1. 1 To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
1 2. 1 If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amper may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled
or tripped over.
