Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical
appliance requires the following
common sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury
or death and secondly the danger of
damage to the appliance. These are
indicated in the text by the following
two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the
person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance! In addition we offer the
following safety advice.

dangers associated with
operating electrical appliances.

Do not leave the iron unattended
whilst plugged in or on an ironing
board. Never allow the mains lead
to over hang the work surface.

The socket should always be off
before plugging or unplugging
from the socket. Never yank the
cord to disconnect from the
socket, instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.

hot surfaces. Let the iron cool
completely before putting away.
