IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using the appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING CHECK THE VOLTAGE indicated on the appliance to make sure it corresponds to your home voltage. Use iron/steamer combo ONLY for its intended use. To avoid electric shock, DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. NEVER yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Tug from the head at outlet to disconnect from the wall. DO NOT allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before storing. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing. ALWAYS disconnect the appliance from electrical outlet when filling or emptying water and when not in use. DO NOT operate the appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the Unit; take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when appliance is used. CLOSE SUPERVISION is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while the Unit is connected or on an ironing board. DO NOT perform steam ironing on clothes while wearing. Steam is hot and CAN BURN human skin. DO NOT use on pets. Burns can occur from touching hot surfaces, hot water or steam. USE CAUTION when turning the appliance upside down. There may be hot water in the water tank. CARE should be taken when using the appliance due to the emission of steam. To avoid a circuit overload, DO NOT operate the iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron should be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a RISK of fire or electric shock due to overheating. CARE should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. The iron MUST NOT be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains. The iron MUST BE used and rested on a stable surface. When placing the iron on its stand, ENSURE that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable. The iron IS NOT TO BE USED if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking. If the supply cord is DAMAGED, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or similar qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. The appliance is NOT INTENDED for use by children or other persons without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it safely. Children should be SUPERVISED to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. The iron is intended ONLY for its ironing and steam cleaning uses. (Note: Do not use steam cleaning for leather. It is easy to CAUSE BURNS.) Please refer to the cleaning methods described on the garment indicator label provided by manufacturer before use. Caution Never use with any cleaning agent, spray or solution to remove stains. These may do harm to your clothes or cause fire or any unexpected hazard.
