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 Off before plugging into or unplug- ging 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 emp- tying of water and when not in use. Be careful 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 iron- ing 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 flammable fumes.

■Do not use iron outdoors.
