❐
Make sure that the connected mains cable does not present a trip hazard. Do not
allow the cable to hang over the edge of tables or kitchen counters. Others may be-
come caught and pull the device down.
❐
Never leave the device unattended when it is connected to the mains. Pull out the
mains plug if you stop ironing for prolonged periods.
❐
Always allow the device to cool down completely before you clean the device and/
or store it away.
❐
Keep the device out of the reach of children!
❐
Never turn the hot device upside down or on its side as otherwise hot water can es-
cape. The exception to this is controlled emptying of the water reservoir.
❐
When emptying the water reservoir and during the self-cleaning of the device, avoid
any contact with the emerging water or steam.
Danger of Electric Shock and Fire
❐
Connect the device only to a properly installed socket. The plug socket must also be
readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be
isolated. The mains voltage must match the technical data of the device. Be aware
that the mains power grids in different countries operate at different voltage levels.
Check whether the local mains voltage corresponds to the technical data of the de-
vice. Only use suitable extension cables and plug adapters whose technical data is
the same as that of the device.
❐
Never immerse the device in water or other liquids! Ensure that the device, the cable
or the plug cannot fall into water or become wet. Should the device fall into water,
switch off the power supply immediately.
❐
Never touch the device, the cable or the plug with wet hands.
❐
Never direct the steam directly at mains cables or parts containing electrical compo-
nents (e. g. inside ovens, fridges, at switches and lights, microwave ovens).
–
Switch the device off and remove the mains plug from the plug socket
–
if you are not using the device,
–
if a fault occurs during operation,
–
before a thunderstorm,
–
before you pour water into the water reservoir or empty it,
–
before you clean and/or store away the device.
❐
When you want to remove the mains plug from the socket, always pull the plug and
never the mains cable.
❐
Use the device only in enclosed spaces.
❐
Do not use the device in rooms containing easily ignitable dust or poisonous and
explosive fumes.
❐
Do not operate the device in a very damp environment or in the vicinity of combustible
material.
❐
Immediately after ironing, place the still hot device down a minimum distance of 15
cm away from walls, furniture and other objects.
❐
In the interest of your own safety, inspect the device for damage each time before you
use it. The device should only be used if it is not damaged in any way!
