SilverCrest DB 1400 A1 Mode D'emploi page 7

• To disconnect from the power source, only pull the plug itself, not the cable.
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable. Arrange it in such a way that it
cannot come into contact with hot surfaces and so that no-one can step on it or
trip over it.
• Remove the plug from the power socket after every use, and before cleaning
or filling with tap water.
• Always unwind the power cable fully before switching on, and do not use an
extension cable.
• Never touch the power cable or the plug with wet hands.
• Never use the steam iron near a bath, shower, wash basin or other vessel
containing water. The proximity of moisture presents a danger, even when the
appliance is switched off.
• Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam iron in liquid or permit
liquids to penetrate the casing of the steam iron. Do not expose the appliance
to humidity and do not use outdoors. Should liquids enter the casing, unplug
the appliance from the socket immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by
a qualified technician.
• You may not open the casing of the steam iron. Should repairs be necessary,
only allow authorised technicians to repair a defective appliance.
• Under NO circumstance should you use the appliance if it shows visible signs
of damage, has fallen, or is leaking. Arrange for it to be repaired by qualified
specialists.
• Do not use the appliance if the anti-kink protection on the power cable is da-
maged!

and/or knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe
use of the appliance and have understood the poten-tial risks. Children may
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be
carried out by children without supervision.
