Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer
products, but it is essential that the product
user also exercise care when using an
electrical appliance. Listed below are
precautions which are essential for the safe
use of an electrical appliance:
•
Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and before
cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet
of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible adult to
ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in
use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other
than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot
gas flame, electric element or on a heated
oven. Do not place on top of any other
appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance
hang over the edge of a table or bench top or
touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for
adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. If
damage is suspected, return the appliance
to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid unless recommended.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of
children. If they come into contact with a hot
iron it could lead to serious burns.
• Iron only on an ironing board.
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to
cool down. Allow the iron to cool completely
before storing.
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate
while the iron is still hot.
• Do not leave the iron unattended while it is
plugged into the power outlet.
• Always unplug the iron from the power outlet
before filling or emptying the water tank.
