IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

❍ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

❍ Use iron only for its intended use.

❍ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse

the iron in water or other liquids.

❍ The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min)

setting before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never

yank cord to disconnect from the 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.

❍ 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; take it to a

qualified service person for examination and repair, or

call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this

manual. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric

shock when the iron is used.

❍ 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.

❍ Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water

or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside

down or use the surge of steam—there may be hot water

in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize

hot water spillage.

❍

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

❍

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the appliance.

❍

The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the

surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if

there is visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

❍ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-

wattage appliance on the same circuit.

❍ If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord rate

at 15-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 for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V MODELS ONLY)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw

to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or

electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are

no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by

authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced

by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service

center.
