IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your ironing press, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following :
– Read all instructions before using the ironing press.
– Use ironing press only for its intended use.
– Before plugging in your ironing press, be sure the electrical information on
the label on the bottom of the base agrees with your power supply.
– Use a mains supply which has an earth connection, for your own safety.
– The ironing press should always be turned off before plugging or unplug-
ging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet ; instead, grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
– Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let ironing press cool completely
before putting it away.
– Do not operate ironing press with a damaged cord or if the ironing press
leaks or is damaged. To avoid the risk of an electrical shock, do not disas-
semble the ironing press ; take it to your nearest service centre for examina-
tion or eventual repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause risk of electric shock
when the ironing press is used.
– Close supervision is necessary when using your press with children around.
– This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concer-
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
– To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
– 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.
– Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
– Only use cold water.
– Do not put your hands between the steaming board and the heating plate
while ironing.
– For any repair, take your machine to a registered after-sales service centre,
so that the repair will be in accordance with the standards indicated in this
instruction book.
– Any repair done by an unauthorized person would cancel the warranty.
