840188401 ENv02.qxd:Layout 1 11/16/09 2:29 PM Page 2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions. 2. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected. 3. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button. 4. Use appliance only for its intended use. 5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. 6. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect. 7. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing. 8. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use. 9. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. 10. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down-there may be hot water in the reservoir. 11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit. 12. 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 cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. 13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION This product is intended for household use only. 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 purpose 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. Direct steam at clothing only. Directing steam toward any other surface may damage that surface. • Do not steam clothes that are being worn. • Do not use steam in the direction of people or pets. 2
