SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on
an ironing board.
13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or
steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down—
there might be hot water in the reservoir.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
15. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere
rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall
be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange
the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
• 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.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop
and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This
happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop
after a few uses.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing
and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron
steam.
