INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Retractable Cord Auto Shut-Off Iron
MODEL: CM43095
When using your at iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for Its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to “Min” before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when lling with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord 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 quali­ed serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. 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 reservoir.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the atiron is not operating normally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the atiron serviced by qualied service personnel.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11.When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
12.The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
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 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision. NEVER immerse the iron, cable or plug in any liquid. DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inammable surfaces. DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the mains when the appliance is not being used. NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands. DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket. DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc. ). DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply. DO NOT ll the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not use chemical additive, scented substances or decalciers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
GARMENT LABEL FABRIC TYPE THERMOSTAT REGULATION
synthetic low temperature
•• silk - wool medium temperature
••• Cotton - linen high temperature
Fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature. This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (2).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (14) and tak­ing care not to go over the maximum level (about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
- Close the lid (2).
