IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your travel iron, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. This travel iron is not intended for regular use.
2. Verify that the voltage where appliance will be used corresponds
to that of your appliance.
3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the travel
iron in water or other liquids.
4. The travel iron should always be turned to OFF (O) before plugging
into or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect
from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let travel iron cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around travel
iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect travel iron from electrical outlet when filling
with water or emptying and when not in use.
7. Do not operate travel iron with a damaged cord or if the travel
iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the travel iron. Call our toll-free cus-
tomer service number for information on examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the
travel iron is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by
or near children. Do not leave travel iron unattended while con-
nected or on an ironing board.
9. 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!
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits
only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an
adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
Please Read Before First Use
• During first use of travel iron/steamer, it may appear to smoke.
This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons/steamers spit or sputter during the first few uses
with tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes
conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare travel
iron/steamer for steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a
few minutes while pressing the steam button.
NOTE: Power light remains ON when travel iron is plugged in,
even in OFF (O) setting.
