SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
This is a 1200-Watt appliance.* To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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.
For Products Purchased in the United States
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug fits 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 defeat this safety feature.
*In Mexico, the iron runs at 127 Volts, 1350 Watts. If an extension cord is necessary,
a 13-Ampere cord should be used.
