IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
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 are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Only use iron 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 (MIN) before plugging or unplugging the iron 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 into the provided cord reel for 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, that the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Supply cord replacement and iron repairs must be conducted by a qualified serviceman or the manufacturer. The incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as set forth in the Limited Warranty.
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.
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.
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 shall 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 tripped over.
Always close the filling aperture when operating the appliance.

Care and cleaning of Iron

Soleplate

Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since these may scratch the soleplate.
To clean the buildup on the soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
