Let’s talk safety

Basic safety precautions

This iron is intended for domestic use only and NOT for commercial or industrial use.• Only use the iron indoors and keep the area you’re ironing well lit.• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than

8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down.

Don’ts

• Don’t touch any hot areas on your iron. The soleplate on the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched.

• Don’t leave the iron unattended while it is connected to the mains and before it has cooled down.

• Don’t use the iron if has been dropped, damaged, immersed in water or left outdoors or has any visible signs of leaking.

• Don’t hold the iron under a running water tap, always use a jug to fill.• Don’t touch the power cord with the iron’s soleplate. • Don’t use the iron if the power cord or plug is damaged.

Please contact our Customer Care Line on: 0330 026 8455 (Mon-Fri 8:30am to 6:30pm, Sat 9:00am to 5:00pm).

Do’s

• Always switch off, unplug from mains and allow the iron to cool down before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting.

• Always stand the iron in the upright position between uses and keep the iron moving whilst in use. Leaving the soleplate in contact with any surface for an extended period of time will cause damage.

• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

• Always use the iron on a heat resistant, stable, level surface. • Always unplug the iron from the mains before the water tank

is filled with water.• Always fill the water tank with water only. Never add perfume,

descaler or products containing alcohol. Filling the water tank with hot or boiling water will invalidate the warranty.

• This iron can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the iron. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Don’t handle the plug or use the iron with wet hands. • Don’t pull or carry the iron by the power cord.• Don’t use the power cord as a handle, pull the power cord around corners

or sharp edges or close a door over the power cord. Don’t unplug the iron by pulling on the power cord.

• Don’t aim the steam jet at people, animals, plants and electrical components or wires. Never touch the steam jet (there is a risk of scalding).

• Don’t use the iron with incorrect voltage as this may result in damage or injury to the user. The correct voltage is listed on the ratings label.

• Don’t use the iron on clothing that is still being worn on the body.• Don’t open the filling aperture during use.

• Always ensure the soleplate and surface are free from grit and debris before use.• Always carry the iron by the handle.• Always empty the water tank when the iron is not in use. • Always replace the fuse in the plug with a British 13amp fuse. Always protect

the power cord from heated surfaces or near open flames.• Use only CE approved 13amp extension cords, non-approved extension cords

can overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the extension cord as it could be a trip hazard.

• Before storing make sure the iron has fully cooled, the water tank is empty and wrap the power cord around the iron. Store the iron in a cool, dry area away from children.

Please keep instructions for further use and use only as instructed in this guide.
