IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min) setting before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
• 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; take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
  risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while 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 or use the surge of steam-there may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
• 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.
  • The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• This product is for household use only.
• POLARIZED PLUG
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
  • Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent the removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
  • Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
