840235702 ENv01.indd 1 12/11/13 1:57 PM2 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 BEFORE USING

1. Read all instructions.

2. 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 use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3. 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.

4. Only use an iron for its intended use.

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

in water or other liquids.

6. Always turn the iron to OFF (O) 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.

7. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool

completely before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely around iron for storing.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

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

on which the stand is placed is stable.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on

13. 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.

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

circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

15. 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 over. 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.

• Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface.

• Do not iron or vertical-steam clothes that are being worn.

• Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.

• 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.

• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. 840235702 ENv01.indd 3 12/11/13 1:57 PM4 Parts and Features
