not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely
around iron when storing.
•Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet
when filling with water, cleaning or emptying

•Do
not operate iron with adamaged 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 arisk
of electric shock
when the iron
is used.
•Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by
or near children. Do not leave
iron unattended while plugged in
or turned on or on an ironing board.
•Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts,
hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn

Do
not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.
•This
is a1200-Watt appliance. To avoid acircuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a15-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 apolarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug fits apolarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact aqualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
