15. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the cord is 

not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently. 

16. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near flammable 

goods, near an open flame, hot gas or electric burner or a heated oven. 

17. Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However, if it is 

necessary  to  use  an  extension  lead,  ensure  that  the  lead  is  suited  to  the  power 

consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the extension cord, appliance 

or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it can be pulled on 

by children or animals or tripped over. 

18. This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use. Do not use this appliance for anything 

other than its intended use. 

19. DO NOT carry the appliance by the power cord. 

20. Always operate the appliance on a smooth, even, stable surface. Do not place the 

unit on a hot surface. 

21. Ensure that the switch is in the 

“0” or “OFF” position after each use. 

22. 

Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer. 

23. 

Don’t touch the soleplate and keep away from the steam emitting from it. 

24. Take care when emptying the iron 

– it may contain hot water. 

25. 

Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children. 

26. Use the iron on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably an ironing board. 

27. 

Don’t  leave  the  iron  unattended  while  plugged  in,  or  while  it’s  standing  on  the 

ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child or by a pet. 

28. 

Don’t fill the iron directly from the tap, use the water beaker provided. 

29. 

Don’t fill past the MAX level mark shown on the water tank or water leak from the 

iron during use. 

30. Deposits  or  minerals  in  the  water  supply  will  generate  scale  and  block  the  steam 

holes in the soleplate.  It is advisable to use distilled water when filling your iron.  Do 

not use chemically distilled water. 

31. Leave the iron upright to cool down fully before cleaning and storing away. 

32. 

Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions. 

33. Take care not to scratch the soleplate 

– avoid buttons, zips, etc. 

34. When placing the iron on its heel rest, ensure that the surface on which is has been 

placed is clean and stable. 

35. The  iron  has  a  protective  thermal  fuse,  which  will  blow  if  it  overheats.  If  this 

happens, the iron will stop working and must be returned for repair.
