IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use. If this product is passed to a third party, then these instructions must be included.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/ or injury to persons including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Only use an iron for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
• Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
• The iron must be used and rested on a flat, stable surface. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable. • The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down.
• The surfaces of the appliance are liable to get hot during use.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Symbols Explanation

Ironing tips

• Sort the garments that needs to be ironed by fabric type. It minimizes the need to change the temperature settings often.
• Changing the temperature higher or lower both requires time. Wait for approximately 3 minutes after changing the temperature so the desired temperature can be reached. If it is unsure what temperature setting to use for a certain type of fabric, use a low temperature setting and increase gradually if needed. Test ironing on a small and less noticeable area or the inside of the item.
• Use an ironing cloth over delicate fabrics (e.g. silk, wool) to prevent shine marks after ironing.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibers. Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any moment.
• Never iron over zippers and rivets on clothes. This can damage the soleplate (I).
• Read the care label on the garment to determine which temperature setting to use. As a reference the symbols are as follows:

Low heat
For: acetate, elastane, polyamide, polypropylene etc.
Medium heat
For: polyester, silk, triacetate, viscose, wool etc.
High heat
For: cotton, linen etc.
