Other safety considerations
•Use the iron only for its intended use.
•Always disconnect the iron from the electrical socket when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person(s) in order to avoid a hazard.

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).
•When ironing is complete, remove the plug from the socket, empty any remaining water from the tank, and allow to cool before storage.
•If you drop or severely knock your iron, this could cause internal damage even if the outside appears alright. Have it checked by a qualified electrician.
•It is recommended that you use up one beaker of water by operating your iron’s steam and shot of steam functions before ironing any clothes, as some dripping may occur while your iron’s steam system is activated.
