2. You don't know what fibres a garment is made of? Then test for results on an unobtrusive place first
(a hem or a seam) before ironing the rest.
3. Still in doubt? Then always start ironing at the lowest setting. If you cannot iron out the creases at
that low temperature, then gradually increase the thermostat setting until you are happy with the
results without damaging the fabric.
PRINCESS TIPS
• Only use the iron for ironing.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. If you do this, you could get an electric shock.
• Always set the thermostat to "MIN" before you put the plug in the electricity socket or remove it from
the electricity socket. Never pull on the cable; always pull the plug itself.
• The cable should never be allowed to come into contact with hot surfaces. Allow the iron to cool off
fully before putting it away.
• Always remove the plug from the electricity socket when you fill the iron with water or empty water
out of the reservoir, and whenever the iron is not in use.
• Do not use the iron if the cable is damaged, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. In order to
avoid getting an electric shock, you should never dismantle the iron yourself; instead, take it to a recog-
nised service centre for repair. Improper assembly could result in electric shocks when used.
• Always take care when you are ironing in the presence of children, and if children are using the iron.
Never leave an iron unsupervised when it is switched on, even on an ironing board.
• Touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam can result in burns and scalds. Take care if you hold the
iron upside-down: there could be hot water in the reservoir.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a recognised service centre.
• After using the iron, press the steam button a few times and shake carefully until you are sure that all
the water has been removed from the reservoir. The remaining moisture will evaporate if you then
insert the plug into the electricity socket and allow the iron to heat up for a short time.
• Avoid overloading your domestic electric system, and do not connect other appliances that use a lot of
electricity to the same ring main as the iron.
• Only use extension leads with a diameter of at least 1 mm2. Extension leads of a smaller diameter may
overheat. Always position extension leads so that nobody can pull at them or trip over them.
• Check regularly that the cable is not damaged and can still be used safely.
• Never iron over zips, rivets in jeans etc; these will damage the plate of the iron. Iron around such objects.
• Never dismantle and repair the iron yourself.
