3 2
This product is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
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.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF ( O ) before plugging into or unplug-
ging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug
and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Retract cord into cord reel storage when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or empty-
ing 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. Call
our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment. All repairs must be completed by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
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 reservoir.
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 10-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
