IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing our Crofton Steam Iron. Each iron has been manufactured to
ensure safety and reliability. Before using for the first time, please read the instructions
carefully, and keep them for further reference.

WARNING! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all

the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• Please read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations before using the
appliance.
• Before using for the first time, check if the voltage rating on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage in your home.
• Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.
• Before use for the first time remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate
and clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
• When you have finished ironing, and also when leaving the iron even for a short
while:
o Set the steam control to off position
o Remove the power plug from the wall socket
• Take care that children cannot touch the iron while it is hot and that they cannot pull
the power cord.
• DANGER OF BURNS! Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or
steam. Use caution when you turn iron upside down – there may be hot water in the
water tank.
• Unplug from the wall socket before filling the iron with water or pouring out the
remaining water after use.
• Do not unplug the iron by pulling on the power supply cord.
• Never immerse the iron in water.
• Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may
slightly smoke when switched on for the first time. If this (harmless) effect does
occur it will cease after a short while.
• Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents into water tank.
• Do not use chemically descaled water.
• The power cord should not be allowed to touch the soleplate when it is hot. Let iron
cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Regularly check if the power cord is still in a good and safe condition.
• The ejected steam is hot and therefore hazardous. Never direct the steam towards
people.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children.
• The user must not leave the iron unattended while it is connected to the power
supply.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
