IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 “0” before plugging or unplugging
from 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 the iron when storing.
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying and 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, take it to a qualified serviceman 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.
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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken
to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel. In Latin America, by an authorized service center.
