SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to Off ″ before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying and when not in use.
6. 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 a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected 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 may be hot
water in the reservoir.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating nor-
mally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced
by qualified service personnel.
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
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have
unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat
to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable
temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a
low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal tem-
perature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of
the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate tempera-
ture: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them
inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following
the fibre) and do not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come
out creased. This also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very
high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
