Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the iron on, pass on the 
instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the iron works.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1  This iron must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use 

and store it out of reach of children.

2  Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or 

outdoors.

3  Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

4  Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not 

a joke – I’ve seen it happen).

5  Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
6 Take care when emptying the iron – it may contain hot water.

7  Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.

8 Use the iron on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably an ironing board.
9  Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the 

ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.

10 Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
11  Don’t fill the iron directly from the tap, use the jug.
12  Don’t fill past 

max

, or water may escape in use.
