IMPORTANT safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

read all instructions before using

Use the iron only for its intended use.

To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water other liquids.

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.

Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Fully retract cord within unit or loop cord loosely around iron, as applicable, 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. Call our toll-free customer assistance number for information on examination and repair. 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 – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

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 13 ampere min. HPN-type 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!
