IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, certain basic safety precautions must be followed, including the
following:
- Read all the instructions before using.
- Only use the iron for its intended purpose.
- To prevent electric shocks, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
- The iron must always be at the "MIN" setting before plugging into or unplugging from the mains.
Never pull on the power cord to unplug; always pull on the plug to unplug.
- Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow the iron to cool fully before putting
away.
- Always unplug the iron from the mains while filling or emptying water or when it is not in use.
- Do not use the iron with a damaged power cord, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To
prevent any electric shock hazard, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to your nearest authorised
technical service centre for inspection and repair. Incorrect assembly may cause electric shocks
during use.
- Any appliance should be kept under careful watch when it is used by or near children. Never
leave the iron unattended while it is plugged into the mains or while it is on the ironing board.
- You may suffer burns or scalds if you touch the hot metal parts, the hot water or the steam. Be
careful when turning the iron upside down; there may be hot water inside the tank.
- If the iron does not work normally, unplug from the mains and contact your nearest authorised
technical service centre.
- The iron has been designed to stand on its heel. Do not leave the iron unattended while it is
plugged in the mains socket. Do not leave the iron on an unprotected surface, even when it is
standing on its heel.
- Never use the appliance if it is damaged.
- Fully unroll the power cord.
- Always unplug the iron when it is not in use, even for short periods. Unplug from the mains socket
and leave it standing on its heel.
- Make sure that children cannot touch the hot iron or pull on the power cord.
- Always unplug the iron before filling with water or removing excess water.
- NEVER immerse the iron in water.
- Check that the voltage rating on the product's nameplate matches the mains supply voltage.
Choose within the range between 120 V and 230 V by turning the "voltage selector" switch.
Before plugging the iron into the mains, check that the "voltage selector" switch is in the right
position. Select the desired value using a pencil tip or similar object. Please remember that if
the switch is in the wrong setting, it may cause a failure or the required temperature may not be
reached.
- This is a travel iron and is not intended or designed for regular use.
