15. This iron is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or metal capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
iron in a safe way by the person responsible for their safety, and understand the
hazards involved.
16. Children should be supervised not to play with the iron.
17. Do not use the iron when children are in the vicinity. Never leave an unattended
iron on the ironing board as the appliance may get knocked over and fall onto a
child.
18. Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove the
power plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
19. This iron is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
20. Do not place your iron on or near a hot gas flame, electric element, heated oven
or any hot surface.
21. Do not place the iron on top of any other appliance.
22. Do not permit the mains supply cord or plug to touch a hot soleplate or other hot
objects, or allow the power cord to lay across the iron.
23. Do not allow the power cord of this appliance to hang over the edge of a table or
bench top.
24. Your iron should not be left unattended while in use.
25. The iron must be used and rested on its heel stand on an even, level and stable –
preferably heat-resistant surface, such as an ironing board.
26. Never carry or hang the iron for storage by the power cord.
27. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or any sharp instruments for cleaning
the unit. When the unit is cool to touch, the outside surface and soleplate may be
wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and then dried thoroughly.
28. Avoid scratching the soleplate on zippers, buttons, studs and hooks etc.
29. Do not fill the water tank directly from the tap. Use the water beaker instead.
30. Do not fill the water tank past the ‘MAX’ level as this may cause the iron to leak
during use.
31. Deposits or minerals in water supply will generate scales which may block the
steam holes in the soleplate. Use of distilled water is therefore recommended.
32. Do not use chemically distilled water.
33. Empty the water tank after each use. Be careful when emptying the water tank
as the water inside the appliance may be very hot.
34. Do not use fragrances, fabric softeners, starch, cleaning agents, vinegar or any
other chemical liquids in the water tank as they may damage the appliance.
35. Immediately unplug the iron from mains power if malfunction occurs.
36. This appliance is equipped with a protective thermal fuse which will blow if the
iron overheats. If this occurs, discontinue use and do not attempt to use the
appliance before it has been serviced at an authorised service agent.
