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

following safety advice.

Children

• Children do not understand the

dangers associated with

operating electrical appliances.

Never allow children to use this

appliance.

•Close supervision is necessary

when any appliance is used near

children.

Personal safety

• 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

water tank.

• Do not use the vertical steam

feature on clothes that are being

worn.

• 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.

• Do not allow the cord to touch
hot surfaces. Let the iron cool
completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around the iron
before storing.

•To protect against the risk of
electric shock do not put the
appliance in water or in any other
liquid.

damaged cord or if the iron has

cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.

Special instructions

If your iron does not work, check
the following points:

• Has the temperature control been
set to the required temperature?
Is the plug in its socket? Is the
plug itself or the socket faulty?
(Check by plugging in another
appliance).

WARNING: When not in use,

your iron should never be placed
flat and left on an ironing board.

•To prevent damage to the textile
being ironed, follow the
temperature guide carefully. (Test
the inside of the hem of the
garment).

•When ironing is complete, remove
the plug from the socket, empty
any remaining water from the
tank, and allow to cool before
storage.

• If you drop or severely knock your
iron this could cause internal
damage even if the outside
appears alright. Have it checked
by a qualified electrician.

• Ensure the product is set to the
correct voltage.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the
rating plate of your appliance
corresponds with your house
electricity supply or country you are
visiting which must be A.C.
(Alternating current).

If the socket outlets are not
suitable for the plug supplied with
this appliance the plug should be
removed and the appropriate one
fitted or a suitable adaptor should be
used.

WARNING : The plug removed
from the mains lead, if severed,
must be destroyed as a plug with a
bared flexible cord is hazardous if
engaged into a live socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp
plug require changing a 13 amp
BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance must
be earthed.

Voltage selection switch

Make sure that the product is set to
