SELECTING THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE
Check each garment label for the required ironing temperature. Start by ironing at low temperature, working up
to those garments that require more heat. If you’re unsure about a garment, test the temperature by ironing an
inconspicuous area. Silk, wool and synthetic fabrics are best ironed on the reverse, to prevent shine. Using the
spray button may stain these fabrics.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this iron, please follow these basic safety precautions.
1.
Please read all instructions before using.
2.
This iron is for household use only. It is not suitable for use outdoors, or in bathrooms.
3.
This iron must only be used for its intended use. Never iron clothes on people.
4.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the iron, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
5.
Never leave the iron unattended during use. Close supervision is necessary when ironing near children.
Please ensure children do not play with the iron, and always store it out of their reach.
6.
This iron is not intended for use by children or people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a person
responsible for their safety.
7.
Always turn the iron to its minimum heat setting before plugging in or unplugging. Grasp by the plug, never
the cord.
8.
Unplug the iron before filling or emptying the water tank; before cleaning and maintenance; and
immediately after use.
9.
The iron must be used on a flat, stable surface. Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces or the
soleplate. Allow the iron to cool completely before storing it in an upright position.
10.
To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the soleplate during use. Always hold the iron by its handle
and warn others, especially children, of the possible dangers of burns from steam, hot water or the
soleplate.
11.
Do not allow the power cord to trail over edges where it may be pulled by children, or tripped over.
12.
Please do not use the iron if it has been dropped or damaged in any way, or if it is leaking. Check the power
cord regularly for signs of damage. Never attempt to repair the iron or replace the cord yourself as this may
lead to severe injury or electric shock. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to arrange a replacement.
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME
•
Please check that the iron’s voltage rating corresponds to your mains voltage.
•
Remove any stickers or protective covers from the soleplate, and iron a damp piece of cloth to remove any
residue.
•
When the iron is first used, you may notice some vapour being released. This is perfectly normal, and
should only last a short while.
