IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

Read all instructions before using the iron.

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 Minimum (Min) before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to discon- nect 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 iron when storing. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water, emptying iron or 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, ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta Appliance 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 plugged in or on an ironing board. Do not direct steam at people, animals or iron clothes while they are being worn.

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.

The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Rowenta Appliance Company and may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.
