Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of
children. If they come into contact with a
hot iron it could lead to serious burns.
• Iron only on an ironing board.
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to
cool down. Allow the iron to cool completely
before storing.
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate
while the iron is still hot.
• Do not leave the iron unattended while it is
plugged into the power outlet.
• Always unplug the iron from the power outlet
before filling or emptying the water tank.
Sunbeam is very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer
products, but it is essential that the product user
also exercise care when using an electrical
appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when
the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
