9. The plug and cord should not be allowed to touch the hot sole plate. Let
the iron cool down completely before taking it away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron for storage.
10. Always disconnect the iron from the wall outlet before filling with water or
when emptying the water after use.
11. To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate another high voltage
appliance in the same electric circuit.
12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating
equal to or greater than the iron shall be used. A cord for less amperage
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be
taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
13. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. When placing the iron
on its Heel Rest, ensure that the surface on which the Heel Rest is placed is
stable.
14. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
15. The iron is for household use only.
16. To protect against burns or injury to persons, do not direct steam toward
the body when ironing or self-cleaning.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTE:
· Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result, the iron may smoke
slightly when switched on for the first time. It will not happen again after a few uses.
· Before using for the first time remove any protective films or stickers from the sole plate
and the cabinet. Clean the sole plate with a soft cloth.
· When using the iron for the first time, test it on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the
sole plate and water tank are completely clean.
