Important Safeguards; Special Instructions - Continental Electric CE23191 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for Its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to "Min" before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or dam-
aged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron take it to a quali-
fied serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do
not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. 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.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating normally. Disconnect
from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced by qualified service personnel.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11.When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
12.The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
NEVER immerse the iron, cable or plug in any liquid.
DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the
mains when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket.
DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc. ).
DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
DO NOT fill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not use chemical additive, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with
the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
