Directions to reduce risk of re, electrical shock, and injury:
When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before use.
- Use caution when handling this steam iron. Burns could
occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
special care to avoid contact with hot water when turning the

ENGLISH |3
product upside down to empty the reservoir.
- To reduce the risk of contact with hot water, test whether
steam is ready before each use while carefully holding the
product away from your body. If no steam appears, wait a few
more minutes and test again. Do not look into the appliance,
use your hands or other objects to check for steam.
- Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the
appliance in water or other liquids.
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure the surface on
which the stand is placed is stable.
- Unit is only meant to be used with recomended accessories.
Using other types of attachments may cause damage to unit
or injury.
- Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when lling
with water or emptying, and when not in use.
- Always turn the iron OFF before plugging in or unplugging
the iron from the electrical outlet.
- Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Wrap cord with supplied
"hook and loop" fastener when storing.
- Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Instead, grasp just
the plug and pull todisconnect.
- Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the
appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
appliance. All repairs must be performed by a qualied service
professional. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk
of re, electric shock, or injury when the appliance isused.
- If Heating Indicator Light does not illuminate when
Temperature Control Dial is turned to a selected heat setting,

4 |ENGLISH
unit is not operating normally. Immediately unplug and have
unit serviced by qualied service personnel.
- When lling Water Tank, only water should be used in unit
- other cleaning agents could damage unit or cause injury.
Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended, in
order to minimize potential build-up of mineral deposits. Do
not overll unit.
- Do not attempt to use steam function without properly lling
Water Tank.
- To reduce risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam
vents, check appliance before each use by positioning it away
from body and pressing Steam Burst Button. Do not operate
unit if steam vents are blocked.
- Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces (such as
Ironing Plate) during use.
- Wrap cord with supplied "hook and loop" fastener when
storing.
- Always allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes)
before storing. Prop unit upright when cooling, to avoid heat
damage to surfaces.
- The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
- A loose t between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may
cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use
of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualied electrician to
replace loose or worn outlets.
- To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp rated
cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that
the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

ENGLISH |5
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is
intended to t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
- The iron is not intended for regular use (for travel irons).
- Use appliance only for its intended use.
WARNING: Changes or modications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
