Important Safeguards

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

■Read all instructions.

■Use iron only for its intended use.

■To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid.

■The iron should always be turned to O/FILL before plug- ging into or unplugging from an 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. Loop cord loosely around cordwrap when storing.

■Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying of water and when not in use. Be care- ful to avoid spilling water over iron when filling.

■Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.

■To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; instead, take it to an authorized service center for 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. Always position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally moved or cord is pulled. Always use heel rest.

■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 water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.

■Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flam- mable fumes.

■Do not use iron outdoors.
