IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
•
Before connecting the plug to the socket, please check whether the type of current and mains
voltage corresponds to the specifications of this instruction manual (230 V, 50 Hz).
•
To protect against electrical shock or fire, resulting in injury or damage, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
•
Use the iron only for its intended use.
•
The iron should always be turned to “MIN” before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank
Power Cord (11) to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
•
Do not allow Power Cord (11) touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away.
Put the iron on Back Cover (12) and loop Power Cord (11) around the iron when storing.
•
Always disconnect the iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not
in use.
•
Do not operate the iron with the damaged Power Cord (11) or if the iron has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to a qualified
service agent for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.
•
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the
iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
•
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a
steam iron upside down - there may be hot water in the Water Tank (3).
•
All repair works should be carried out by an approved service center.
•
Turn Steam Control Button (8) a few times and lightly shake the iron after use to ensure all water is
drained. The remaining moisture will evaporate if you then plug in the Power Cord (11) and heat iron
for a few minutes.
•
The iron is designed to rest on the heel. Do not leave the iron unattended when switched on. Do not
place the iron on an unprotected surface even if it is on its heel rest.
Special instructions
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the Power Cord (11) so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
