General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and
carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your local outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond
to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is
properly earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the appliance.
• Separate circuit: To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• WARNING: Do not immerse! Never immerse the cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquid, or expose the electrical connections to water or other
liquid. Should liquids enter the housing, unplug the appliance from the power
socket immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by a qualified technician.
• Protect from moisture: Do not use the appliance outdoors or expose it to
humidity. Never use the appliance adjacent to water contained in a bath,
shower, wash basin or other vessel. The proximity of moisture presents a
danger, even when the appliance is switched off. Do not operate the appliance
or touch the power cord or plug with wet hands.
• No extension cord: Always unwind the power cord fully before switching on
and do not use an extension cord. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15A rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Take care when arranging the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Protect the power cord: Do not damage, kink or squash the power cord and
protect it from sharp edges. Do not let the cord touch any hot surface, including
the ironing/steaming surface. Unwind and straighten the cord before use, then
arrange the cord in such a way that no one can step on it or trip over it.
• Damage: Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by
the manufacturer or a qualified technician in order to avoid a hazard. In case of
damage, please contact our after sales support centre.
