serviced regularly by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Warning! Never leave the iron unattended – even for a moment – if it is switched on or plugged in to
the mains. This applies even if the iron is resting in a heat-resistant stand. When you stop using the
iron, turn the temperature dial to the minimum position and then remove the plug from the mains
socket. Leave the iron in a vertical position on its heel rest to cool down. During any short break from
ironing, place the iron on a heat-resistant surface (either stood on its heel rest or on the heat-resistant
support of an ironing board). Take care to ensure the hot soleplate of the iron cannot accidentally
touch any fabric. The soleplate will remain hot for a while after the iron has been switched off. To avoid
the risk of fire, never leave the iron unattended until it has cooled down completely.
The iron will automatically switch off if it is not moved. (It will switch off after approximately 20
seconds when the iron is stood on its soleplate or after 8 minutes when the iron is placed in an upright
position). This safety function is designed to prevent accidents due to negligence. You should never
leave the iron unattended if it is connected to the mains or is still warm.
•
To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Never touch the
appliance with wet hands. Connect and disconnect the power cable to the socket with dry hands only. Should
moisture get inside the casing of the appliance for any reason, stop operation immediately and take the
appliance to an authorised service engineer for checking or repair.
Warning! Never fill or empty the water tank unless the iron is switched off and unplugged
from the mains. always use an appropriate container (e.g. a small jug) to fill the water
tank and never hold the iron under a tap. take care not to spill any water when filling
the tank; always wipe any drips from the iron before connecting it to mains power. When
you’ve finished using the iron, allow it to cool completely and then empty any remaining
water from the tank.
•
Before using the iron, straighten the mains cable to remove any knots or loops.
•
After use and before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. Never do this by pulling on the
cable; always take hold of the plug and pull out of the socket. Switch off the appliance before disconnecting it
from the mains.
•
Never lay the mains cable beside or across sharp edges or hot surfaces. Never wrap the mains cable around
the cover of the appliance, do not pull the cable and do not lift the appliance with the mains cable because
the cable can break or the insulation can be damaged. A damaged cable must be replaced by an authorised
service engineer. The appliance must not be used or connected to a wall socket if the cable is damaged.
•
Ensure the mains cable doesn’t touch the hot soleplate when the iron is being used or when it is cooling down.
•
Should the appliance fall into any kind of liquid during operation do not grasp it, first disconnect it from the
mains and only remove it from the liquid when the power has been disconnected. Take it to an authorised
service engineer for checking and repair.
•
Never insert anything into the holes on the soleplate or the casing. This could cause injury or death from
electric shock.
•
Warning! Before you clean the appliance it must be switched off and the mains plug must be removed from
the wall socket.
•
The hot metal parts of the iron can cause burns when touched, so do not put the iron away until it has
cooled down completely. Avoid storing the iron with any kinks in the power cable as this could damage the
insulation.
•
Any skin contact with the hot surface of the iron or with hot steam/water can cause burns.
•
Never try ironing clothes that are being worn! Only iron clothes when they have been removed.
•
You must not disassemble the appliance, remove its cover or to try to repair it. Ignoring this advice could cause
a serious accident. There are no parts in the appliance that can be repaired at home or used for any other
purpose. Never operate the appliance with a damaged mains cable or connector. Do not use the appliance if
it fails to work normally or if it has been dropped or damaged. If the appliance becomes faulty for any reason
or if any moisture is allowed inside, take it to an authorised service engineer for checking and repair. Only
service engineers who have been trained and approved should repair the appliance. The manufacturer cannot
take any responsibility for unauthorised repairs or for any circumstances resulting from not following the
instructions.
Modifying or adding an extra length to the power cable of the appliance is forbidden!
Should the cable of the appliance turn out to be too short, it may be extended only by using a
commercially available standard extension cable equipped with protective earth contact, and the
extension cable must have an electrical rating of at least 10 Amper (cables with lower electrical
rating could heat up during use). If other electric appliances have to be operated simultaneously with
the same extension cable, their current consumptions must be added up to determine the electrical
rating requirement of the extension cable. If an extension cable is used, both the mains socket and
the extension cable must have protective earth. When an extension cable is used, special care must
be taken to avoid tripping over it.
To avoid overloading your electricity supply, please don’t use the appliance at the same time as any
other high-power device (e.g. a kettle or heater) in the same socket or on the same mains circuit.
Please respect the environment when the appliance reaches the end of its life. Electrical products
must not be disposed of with other residential waste because they can damage the natural world and
may be hazardous to human health. You should dispose of the appliance at an appropriate recycling
site or by using a collection service that specialises in electrical appliances.
You may wish to contact the retailer or the manufacturer if you are unable to find convenient local recycling facili-
ties as they have some legal responsibilities for recycling electrical products.
