IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
❑
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS IRON.
❑ Use iron only for its intended use.
❑ To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
❑ The iron should always be turned to “OFF” 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 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 an authorized service center for
examination and/or 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.
❑ If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply
and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center.
