Iron Safety
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 shouid always be turned to OFF (0) before plugging or unplugging 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.
Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying 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 and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
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 the 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Consumer Safety Information______________________
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.
