SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Only use an iron for its intended use.

2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron

in water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron to 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 let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool

completely before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely

around iron when storing.

5. 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.

6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event

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. 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.

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

8. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface

on which the stand is placed is stable.

9. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near

children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is

connected or on an ironing board.

10. 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.

11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same

circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

12. 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 be tripped

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

Other consumer safety information

This product is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only

one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.

If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

PLEASE READ BEFORE FIRST USE:

• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will

stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap

water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned.

This will stop after a few uses.

• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for

steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while

lettting iron steam.
