Important Safety Instructions

TROUBLESHOOTING

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Read all instructions carefully.

2.Use iron only for its intended use.

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

4.The iron thermostat should always be turned to its lowest position before plugging in or unplugging from the electrical outlet.

5.Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

6.Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.

7.Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying, or when not in use.

8.Do not operate iron with a damaged cord, or after the iron has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Return the iron to the nearest service facility for examination and repair. Incorrect

reassembly can cause the risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

9.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.

10.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.

11.Never direct steam at any person, especially when using the iron in the vertical position. The steam is very hot and can cause burns.

12.This appliance is for household use only.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

2.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, use a 15-ampere cord. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Use care to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

		the correct steam area, e.g. "•", and the steam control
		is not on "0". For more steam, turn temperature dial to
		higher setting, e.g. "•••", and the steam control to

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 no attempt to defeat this safety feature.
