Important Safety Instructions - Hamilton Beach 14505 Mode D'emploi

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
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 to OFF before plugging or unplugging
the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to
disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp
the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
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 for 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 in the event
the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible
signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly
might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used
after reassembly.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
7. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
8. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface
on which the stand is placed is stable.
9. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or
near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron
is connected or on an ironing board.
10. 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.
11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the
same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
12. 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 amperage 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 or be tripped over.
