IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

  • Read all instructions before using.

  • Only use iron for its intended use.

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

  • Always turn iron off before plugging or unplugging 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
    the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

  • Close supervision is necessary for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is 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 might be hot water in the reservoir.

  • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

    • When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
    • The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped,if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
  • The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

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

  • If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron should 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.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent 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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

  • A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  • Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
    1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
    2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
    3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
For Mexico market only: If the line cord and plug is damaged it must be replaced by the warranty department listed in the manual.
