Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the iron on, pass on the
instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the iron works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
2 Don’t put the appliance in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not
a joke – I’ve seen it happen).
5 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
6 Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
7 Use the iron on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably an ironing board.
8 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the
ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.
9 This iron is designed for occasional use, not regular everyday use.
10 Set the voltage switch to the local voltage. Using the wrong setting will probably
damage the iron beyond repair.
11 Unplug before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
12 Don’t fill past the max mark on the reservoir, or water may escape in use.
