Important safety instructions
●
Before the appliance is used, the main
body including the power cord as well as
any attachment fitted should be checked
thoroughly for any defects or leakage.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, it
must no longer be used: even invisible
damage may have adverse effects on the
operational safety of the appliance.
●
Great care is necessary in using any
appliance, especially near children. Do
not leave the steam iron unattended
Steam Iron
while connected or on an ironing board.
Always remove the plug from the wall
socket and place the steam iron on its
base stand.
●
The appliance operates at very high
temperatures. Do not touch any part of
the appliance except the handle. Burns
can occur from touching the hot parts of
the housing or the soleplate and from hot
water or steam. When operating the
steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do
not allow steam to escape in the direction
of anyone nearby.
●
The iron must be used and stored on a
stable and durable surface only.
●
With the iron placed on its rest on the
steam generator, ensure that this too is
on a stable and durable surface.
●
Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord
round the appliance.
●
Always switch off and remove the plug
from the wall socket after use, and also
- in case of any malfunction and,
- during cleaning.
●
When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
●
This appliance is not intended for use by
any person (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lacking experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
●
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
●
Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children: there is a risk of
suffocation.
●
Do not operate the appliance if excessive
force has been used to pull the power
cord. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualified
technician before it is used again.
