KAMBROOK SAFETY

Welcome to Kambrook and your new Steamline Iron.At Kambrook we believe that the safe performance of our products is the first priority in any consumer product so that you, our valued customer, can confidently use and trust our products.We ask that any electrical appliance that you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention placed on the following important operating instructions:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ACTIVATING THE APPLIANCE AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.

Do not use this iron for anything other than its intended use.

Always turn the Variable Temperature Control to minimum, then switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the appliance when not in use.

Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow the iron to cool completely before storing in an upright position on its heel.

Do not touch hot surfaces. High temperatures are generated during use, which could cause burns.Always use the handle and warn others (especially children) of the possible dangers of burns from steam, hot water or hot soleplate, especially when ironing vertically.

Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual appliance for any damage. If damage is found in any way, or the iron has been

dropped, immediately cease use of the appliance and return the entire appliance to the nearest authorised Kambrook service centre for examination, replacement or repair.

Store the unit out of reach of children.

Always switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the appliance from the outlet:

- before filling with water or emptying it,

- before leaving it unattended,

- before cleaning and maintenance – unless otherwise specified in this booklet,

- immediately after use.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not allow iron to lay flat on the soleplate when stored as water may seep through the steam holes, if the tank is not empty.

Always test the iron on a small, discrete part of the fabric to be ironed to ensure iron is not set too hot.

Always store iron in an upright position on its heel. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms.

Do not store iron with water in the water tank.Always empty tank after use.

Ensure the iron is cool before storing or

USING YOUR KAMBROOK STEAMLINE IRON

Before first use remove any promotional labels and/or protective cover from the soleplate before using the iron.

When using for the first time use on an old piece of fabric to ensure the soleplate and water tank are completely clean.

When first used some vapour may be emitted, after a short while, however, this will cease.The vapour is due to the initial heating of the materials used in the iron. It is safe and will not harm the performance of the iron.

Setting the Temperature

Before commencing ironing first sort items to be ironed, according to the International Textile Care Labelling Code or by type of fabric. Iron fabrics requiring the coolest temperatures first.Work through to the fabrics requiring the higher temperatures. Both the Temperature Control and most items of laundry have marking corresponding with this code (Table A)

Stand the iron on its heel and turn the Variable Temperature Control to Minimum.

Plug the power cord into a 230/240V power outlet and switch on.

Select the temperature setting required by rotating the temperature control so that the desired setting is aligned with the Heating Indicator Light/Contr

o out as the

thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

Important: Never leave the iron unattended while it is connected to an electrical outlet. Special care should always be taken when there are children in the home.

NOTE: on label means:“This article cannot be ironed” (e.g. chlorofibre, acrylic, elastodiene).

Steam Ironing

When filling the iron with water make sure the iron is disconnected from the electricity supply before filling with water.

Set the Variable Steam/Dry Control to the DRY position (= Closed)

With the iron held on an angle, use the beaker supplied to slowly pour water into the Water Inlet Hole. Do not fill beyond the Max mark on the water tank.

NOTE:Tap water can be used, unless it is particularly hard, in which case the use of distilled or demineralised water is advised

To guarantee the maximum life-time of your steam iron:

Do not use chemically descaled water

The harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned (see “Maintaining Your Kambrook Iron” section, page 7)
