Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance, its parts and packaging material.

Directions to reduce risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury:
When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before use.

• Use caution when handling this steam iron. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use special care to avoid contact with hot water when turning the product upside down to empty the reservoir.

• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water, test whether steam is ready before each use while carefully holding the product away from your body. If no steam appears, wait a few more minutes and test again. Do not look into the appliance, use your hands or other objects to check for steam.

• Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.

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

• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

• Unit is only meant to be used with recomended accessories.
  Using other types of attachments may cause damage to unit or injury.

• Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.

• Always turn the iron OFF before plugging in or unplugging the iron from  the electrical outlet.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Wrap cord with supplied “hook and loop” fastener when storing.

• Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Instead, grasp just the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service professional. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when the appliance is used.

• If Heating Indicator Light does not illuminate when Temperature Control Dial is turned to a selected heat setting, unit is not operating normally. Immediately unplug and have unit serviced by qualified service personnel.

• When filling Water Tank, only water should be used in unit

• other cleaning agents could damage unit or cause injury.
  Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended, in order to minimize potential build-up of mineral deposits. Do not overfill unit.

• Do not attempt to use steam function without properly filling Water Tank.

• To reduce risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by positioning it away from body and pressing Steam Burst Button. Do not operate unit if steam vents are blocked.

• Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces (such as Ironing Plate) during use.

• Wrap cord with supplied “hook and loop” fastener when storing.

• Always allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before storing. Prop unit upright when cooling, to avoid heat damage to surfaces.

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

• A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.

• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

• The iron is not intended for regular use (for travel irons).

• Use appliance only for its intended use.

WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
