physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliances by
a person responsible for their safety.
Do not leave the hot iron unattended even for a short while.
Do not allow children to use the appliances or touch the appliances when in use.
The soleplate should always be cleaned with a soft cloth, never use knife, blade or
any other sharp object.
Never immerse the iron in water. Disconnect the iron from the mains when filling or
emptying water.

once a month.

temperature dial to max setting. Allow the iron to get heated and wait
for the pilot light to go off. Unplug and hold the hot iron horizontally

holes on the soleplate washing away the scales and minerals that have built-up in the
steam chamber. Gently shake the iron till the water tank is empty. Allow the iron to
cool down and reset the knob to the ironing position. Wipe the soleplate with a damp
cloth.
