Main risks

• Finger pinching when opening, closing or adjusting the height at hinges and folding points.
• Tipping over or collapse if the mechanism is not properly locked or if used on uneven surfaces.
• Burns from contact with the hot iron or steam.
• Fire risk if the iron is left soleplate-down on the cover or near textiles.
• Trips and falls due to leads trailing across walkways or water/condensation on the floor.
• Instability due to missing or worn non-slip feet.
• Damage to delicate floors from slipping or unprotected feet.

Safe use

• Open and fold by holding the frame; keep fingers clear of hinges and catches.
• Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged before placing the iron.
• Place the board on a firm, level surface, and adjust the height with no load on it.
• Use the designated iron rest; never leave the iron unattended and always in a stable position.
• Keep clear of curtains, tablecloths or other textiles that could touch the hot surface.
• Route the iron lead to the rear or side to avoid snags and trips.
• If your model includes a holder for the iron or a steam generator, use it as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not move the board with the iron on it or when the iron is hot.
• Keep flammable aerosols and heat sources away while ironing.

Storage and maintenance

• Allow the iron and surface to cool completely before folding or storing.
• Engage the safety catch or close the retaining strap when storing to prevent accidental opening.
• Store in a dry, ventilated place, away from moisture and heat sources.
• Wipe up any water drips or condensation to prevent slipping and corrosion.
• Periodically check screws, rivets, leg stability and the condition of the non-slip feet.
• Replace the cover if it is scorched, loose or heavily worn.
• Clean the frame with a soft cloth and the board only when cool; avoid abrasive products.

Usage restrictions

• Domestic use for ironing garments; do not use as a ladder, bench, seat or support for people.
• Do not overload with appliances or weights beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not use outdoors in windy conditions or on unstable surfaces.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets during use; close supervision is required if children are nearby.
• Do not modify the structure or carry out makeshift repairs to legs, hinges or catches.
• Stop using it if you notice looseness, deformation, cracks or loss of stability.
