Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or
damaged.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Call customer
service for assistance if operation problems occur. Incorrect assembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
•
This appliance should not be used by children and care should be taken
when used near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or
on an ironing board. Ignited materials can cause a fire.
•
DANGER OF BURNS! 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 reservoir.
•
Always use a steam iron over an ironing board with a weil-fitted, padded
cover. Hot steam may condense into hot water and cause burns if not properly
absorbed by a covered and padded ironing board.
• Never descale the tank or treat with detergents or solvents, as this would
cause water to drip from the iron when generating or spraying steam!
• Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the specifications
on the rating plate.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance
(such as a toaster) on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, use at least
a 12.5 ampere cord. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled
or tripped over.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
IMPORTANTES
Al emplear la plancha a vapor deben observarse siempre las precauciones básicas
de seguridad incluyendo las siguientes:
• ¡LEA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE USAR LA PLANCHA!
• Use la plancha sólo para la aplicación prevista. NO la utilice para fundir o
sellar materiales. La plancha puede dañarse de forma permanente.
• ATENCIóN! Para protegerse de descargas eléctricas, no sumerja la plancha
en agua u otros líquidos.
• La plancha debe estar en "OFF" antes de enchufarla o desenchufarla en el
toma corriente.
• Nunca tire del cable para desconectar el enchufe de la red sino. Tome el
enchufe y tire de él.
• No deje que el cable toque superficies calientes. Deje enfriar completamente
la plancha antes de guardarla. Enrolle el cable alrededor de la plancha sin
ajustar demasiado.
• Desenchufe siempre la plancha de la red al llenar o vaciar el agua y
cuando no esté en uso.
• No haga funcionar la plancha si se la ha dejado caer o está rota o si el cable
o el enchufe están averiados.
• Para evitar el riesgo de descargas eléctricas, no desarme la plancha. Llame
al servicio autorizado si se presentan problemas en el funcionamiento. Un
montaje incorrecto aumenta el riesgo de descargas eléctricas al utilizar la
plancha.
• Los niños no deben usar esta plancha y debe usársela con especial cuidado
en la cercanía de éstos. No deje la plancha abandonada cuando está prendida
o sobre la tabla de planchar. Puede producirse un incendio debido a materiales
inflamables.
• ¡PELIGRO DE QUEMADURA! Pueden producirse quemaduras al tocar
superficies metálicas calientes, agua caliente o vapor. Sea cuidadoso al
voltear la plancha hacia abajo ya que puede haber agua caliente en el tanque.
• Siempre utilice la plancha a vapor sobre una tabla de planchar con una
cobertura acolchada bien ajustada. El vapor caliente puede condensar en
agua caliente y causar quemaduras si no es absorbida adecuadamente por
la cobertura de la tabla de planchar.
• No descalcifique el tanque ni trate con detergentes o solventes la plancha
ya que esto hará que el agua gotee de la plancha al generar vapor!
• Conecte y haga funcionar la plancha sólo de acuerdo con las especificaciones
de la chapa de características.

donde está la plancha, otros electrodomésticos de gran consumo, como por ejemplo
un tostador.
Si es imprescindible el uso de un cable prolongador, utilice como mínimo uno de
12,5 amperios. Los que sólo soportan amperajes menores pueden calentarse en
exceso. Debe ponerse especial cuidado al ubicar el cable, a fin de evitar tropezar
o tirar de él.

fabricantes, comenzando con aquella de menor temperatura de planchado .
El punto número 1 es el que debe usarse para la ropa de fibra
sintética (no es posible aquí, el uso del vapor).
El punto número dos está destinado al planchado de seda y lana
