IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE IRON.

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2.  To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron OFF 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.

4.  Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

6. 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. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2.  If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used. Cords rated for less amper may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

WHAT WATER TO USE?
Your appliance was designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any mineral deposits. If your water is very hard (above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e) mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% demineralised
