Special
instructions
If your iron does not work,
check the following points:
•
Has the temperature dial
been set to the required
temperature? Is the plug in
its socket? Is the plug itself
or the socket faulty? (Check
by plugging in another
appliance).
•
WARNING: When not in
use, your iron should
never be placed flat and
left on an ironing board.
•
To prevent damage to the
textile being ironed, follow
the temperature guide
carefully. (Test the inside of
the hem of the garment).
•
When ironing is complete,
remove the plug from the
socket, empty any
remaining water from the
tank, and allow to cool
before storage.
•
If you drop or severely
knock your iron, this could
cause internal damage even
if the outside appears
alright. Have it checked by
a qualified electrician.
•
It is recommended that you
use up one beaker of water
by operating your iron’s
steam and shot of steam
functions before ironing any
clothes, as some dripping
may occur while your iron’s
steam system is activated.

the rating plate of your
appliance corresponds with
your house electricity
supply which must be A.C.

If the socket outlets in your
home are not suitable for
the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should
be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.
