Steam Iron KH 1282
Basic Safety Instructions
Danger of Burns!
• Do not allow individuals (including children) to
use the appliance whose physical, sensorial or
mental abilities or lack of experience and know-
ledge hinder their safe usage of it if they have
not previously been supervised or instructed in its
correct usage.
• Tell children about the appliance and its potenti-
al dangers so that they do not play with it.
• Never touch the sole-plate of the iron when it is
hot. Take hold of the steam iron with the handle
only.
• Never hold your hand over the steam spray or
on hot metal parts.
• Never direct the steam blast at people or other
living creatures.
• You should not open the filler opening of the
water reservoir while the iron is in use. First
remove the plug from the power socket and al-
low the steam iron to cool down before refilling
it.
Fire hazard!
• Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is
hot or switched on. You and others can be easily
injured through a still hot iron.
• Never place the steam iron in the close vicinity of
inflammable materials, such as curtains and dra-
pes. They could catch fire.
• Use only the ironing temperatures given in the
care instructions for the material and those suita-
ble for it. Otherwise, you could damage the texti-
les. Should care instructions for the item be neit-
her known nor available, begin ironing with the
lowest temperature setting.

• Put the steam iron into storage only when it has
cooled down completely.
• Never place the steam iron on edges, for exam-
ple table edges. It could tip and fall down.
• Stand the steam iron only on its back end, or lay
it in the support tray provided on the ironing bo-
ard. Never lean the hot iron against walls or
other objects. There could be a risk of fire
breaking out.
Danger of electrical shock!
• Connect the steam iron only to correctly installed
wall power sockets.
• To avoid possible dangers, arrange for a defecti-
ve appliance to be checked and possibly repai-
red by qualified techni-cians, or contact our
Customer Service Department.
• Arrange for defective power cables to be repla-
ced immediately by qualified technicians, or
contact our Customer Service Department.
• To disconnect from the power source, pull only
on the plug itself, not on the cable.
• Never direct the steam jets or the water-spray jets
at electrical appliances or at objects sensitive to
heat or moisture.
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable.
Arrange it in such a way that it can not come into
contact with hot surfaces and such that no-one
can step on it or trip over it.
• After every use, before cleaning and when refil-
ling with water, remove the plug from the power
socket.
• Always unroll the power cable fully before
switching on and do not use an extension cord.
• Never touch the power cable or the power plug
with wet hands.
