IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
When using your new iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Use iron only for its intended use. For HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
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 «Off» before plugging or unplugging from
an outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet. Instead, grasp the
plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
5. It is always recommended to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet
when filling with water or emptying. It should also be disconnected when not in
use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do not disassemble the iron.
Take it to a qualified service depot 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 the 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. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp 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.
11. If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect it from the power supply and
have it serviced by qualified service personnel.
12. The iron is not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
13. Use caution when you turn on a steam iron upside down - there might be hot
water in the reservoir
14. The 240IR should be used on a stable ironing surface.
