IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using a travel iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1.Only use an iron for its intended use.

2.To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

3.Always turn the iron to OFF (O) before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.

4.Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.

5.Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.

6.Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for exami- nation and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

7.The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

8.When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

9.Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is con- nected 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 might be hot water in the reservoir.

11.To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

12.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This iron is not intended for regular use.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur- pose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Please Read Before First Use

This appliance was initially set to operate at 120 volts. See “To Change Voltage” section for conversion to 240 volts.

During first use of travel iron/steamer, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

Many irons/steamers spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.

Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare travel iron/steamer for steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while pressing the steam button.

NOTE: Power light remains ON when travel iron is plugged in, even in OFF (O) setting.
