When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
• Use Iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Iron in water or other
liquids.
• The Fabric Select Dial and Steam Lever should always be turned to O/Off and
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 putting
away. Loop Cord loosely around Iron when storing.
• Always disconnect Iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying
and 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 Oster®
Authorized Service Center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk 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 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 Oster® Authorized Service Center.
• Your OSTER® 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 its
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.
