• Toprotectagainstriskofelectricshock,donotimmersetheironinwaterorotherliquids.
• TheFabricSelectSettingandSteamLevershouldalwaysbeturnedtoOFFbeforepluggingorunplugging
fromoutlet.Neveryankcordtodisconnectfromoutlet;instead,graspplugandpulltodisconnect.
• Donotallowcordtotouchhotsurfaces.Letironcoolcompletelybeforestoring.Loopcordlooselyaround
ironwhenstoring.
• Alwaysdisconnectironfromelectricaloutletwhenfillingwithwater,cleaning,emptyingor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anauthorizedservicecenterforexaminationand/or
repair.Incorrectreassemblycancauseariskofelectricshockwhenironisused.
• Closesupervisionisnecessaryforanyappliancebeingusedbyornearchildren.Donotleaveiron
unattendedwhilepluggedin,turnedonoronanironingboard.
• Burnscanoccurfromcontactwithhotmetalparts,hotwaterorsteam.Usecautionwhenyouturnasteam
ironupsidedown–theremaybehotwaterinthereservoir.
• Iftheironisnotoperatingnormally,disconnectfromthepowersupplyandhavetheironservicedbyan

ironisdesignedtorestontheheelrest.Donotleavetheironunattended.
Donotsettheirononanunprotectedsurface,evenifitisontheheelrest.
• Thisisahighwattageappliance.Toavoidacircuitoverload,donotoperateanotherhighwattage
applianceonthesamecircuit.
• Ifanextensioncordisabsolutelynecessary,a15-amperecordshouldbeused.Cordsrated
forlessamperagemayoverheat.Careshouldbetakentoarrangetheextensioncordsothat
itcannotbepulledortrippedover.
For Products Purchased in the united states and canada
Toreducetheriskofelectricalshock,thisappliancehasapolarizedplug(one blade is wider than the other).This
plugfitsapolarizedoutletonlyoneway;iftheplugdoesnotfitfullyintotheoutlet,reversetheplug.Ifitstilldoesnot
