IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and
supervised. Keep the iron and cable out of reach of children under 8 years.
Sit the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably a purpose-
built "steam generator" type ironing board.
Rest the iron only on the base unit.
Don't leave the iron unattended while plugged in or standing on the ironing
board. It could be knocked over.
Don't use the iron if it's dropped, damaged, malfunctions or leaks.
If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.
h The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.
• B Don't put the iron in liquid, don't use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
• Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
• Don't iron clothing while it's being worn – you'll burn or scald the wearer.
• Don't touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
• Don't use the iron in the vicinity of children.
• Don't sit the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block the vents
underneath the base unit.
• Keep the cables and steam pipe away from hot parts.
• Don't use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
• Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
• The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens, the iron will
stop working, and must be returned for repair.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it's not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece of
cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
• Don't worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it will soon stop as the manufacturing residues evaporate.
