When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE STEAM IRON.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
2. Use appliance only for its intended use.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other
liquids.
4. Always turn the appliance to “Off” before plugging or unplugging the appliance from
the electrical outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug
and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.

appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
13. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
14. 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reorelectricshockduetooverheating.Careshall
