Special instructions
If your iron does not work, check the following points:
•Has the temperature control been set to the required temperature? Is the plug in its socket? Is the plug itself or the socket faulty? (Check by plugging in another appliance).
•WARNING: When not in use, your iron should never be placed flat and left on an ironing board.
•To prevent damage to the textile being ironed, follow the temperature guide carefully. (Test the inside of the hem of the garment).
