IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including

the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!

1. Only use an iron for its intended use.

2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in

water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron

from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect

the appliance from the electrical outlet; instead, grab the plug

and pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance.

4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely

before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron

when storing.

5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before ﬁlling

the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when

the iron is not in use.

6. Do not operate the 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 a qualiﬁed specialist for

examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk

of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

SDB 1800 A1

■ 4 │ US-EN

7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near

children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is con-

nected 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 might be hot water in the reservoir.

9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same

circuit with another high wattage appliance.

10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an

ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of

the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less current can result

in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall

be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on be

tripped over.

Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock,

there is only one way this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet. If

the plug does not completely ﬁt into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the

plug in any way.

► A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should

be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in, or trip-

ping over a longer cord.

► Longer detachable power supply cords or extensions cords may

be used if they are used carefully.

► If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord

should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appli-

ance;

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children,

or tripped over unintentionally; and

3) If the appliance has a grounded plug, the cord set or exten-

sion cord should also be a grounded 3-wire cord.
