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 the iron only for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron to OFF before plugging or unplugging from the electrical 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 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.
• This appliance is for household use only.
