SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
Note: When using the iron for the first time,
testing on an old piece of fabric to ensure that
the soleplate and water tank is completely
clean.
SAFETY PROTECTIVE CUT – OUT
In the unlikely event of the thermostat failing, the
protection cut – out will operate to prevent the iron
overheating. The iron should then be taken to an
authorized dealer/service agent for repair.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Please read all instructions before use.
2. Ensure the voltage rating on the type plate
corresponds to the main voltage in your home.
3. Use the iron only for its intended use.
4. The iron should always be switched off before
connecting or disconnecting from the power
supply. Never yank/pull the cord to disconnect
the plug from the wall socket.
5. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord
or plug. Never use the iron if it is damaged in
any way. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not re-assemble the iron. Take it to a qualified
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect
re-assembling can cause electric shock when
the iron is used.
6. If you leaving the appliance momentarily always
switch it off, remove the plug from the wall
socket and stand the iron on its base.
7. Take care that children cannot touch the iron
when the iron is hot and make sure they cannot
pull the mains cord.
8. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do
not immerse the iron, cord or plug in water or
other liquids.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts,
hot water or steam, Be caution when you turn
a steam iron upside down: there may be hot
water in the tank.
10. Do not allow the mains cord to touch hot
surface. Let the iron cool down completely
before taking it away. Wind the main cord
around the iron when storing.
11. Always disconnect the main plug from wall
socket before filing the iron with water or
pouring the remaining water out.
12. To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate
another high voltage appliance in the same
electric circuit.
13. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a
10-ampere (Europe) or 15 ampere (America)
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.
14. This iron is for household use only.
15. Traveling irons are not intended for normal use.
