Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the iron on, pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the iron works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1This iron must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not a joke – I’ve seen it happen).
5Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
6Take care when emptying the iron – it may contain hot water.
7Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
8Use the iron on a stable, level,
9Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.
10Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.

13Sit the iron upright when you’re not ironing, and when you store it away.
