CAUTION DURING USE OF RETRACTIVE POWER CORD (43GX/44GX/45GX/G10NR Only)
(1) When retracting power cord, always grasp the plug with one hand while pressing the cord
wind button with the other hand.
(2) If cord does not retract completely, pull it out slightly and wind it again while guiding it into
the reel. Í
(3) Unwind the power cord in the amount of length you need before plugging it to the wall
outlet.
(4) If the power cord seems hard to unwind due to an improper winding, pull firmly until it is
released.
(5) Do not allow small children to handle the retractive power cord as this may cause the cord
to "whip" and cause injury.
GENERAL HINTS BEFORE USING YOUR Panasonic IRON
1. Read this instruction book to become familiar with the iron and its features.
2. Most ordinary tap water can be used in this iron. In extremely hard water areas, distiled or
demineralized water should be used. Do not use water processed through home water
softening systems, because this water contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron.
3. It is best to start ironing garments requiring lower temperature settings first. This will help
to avoid damaging garments. If you are not sure of the fabric content, first test the temperature
of the iron on an area of a garment where it will not show.
HELPFUL IRONING TIPS
The Temperature Selector Dial of the Panasonic iron has dots on it, in addition to numbers
and color indications. This makes it easy to adjust the iron for steam, more or less steam, and
any other temperature setting desired. The dots are international fabric protection symbols for
various temperature ranges:
èe Low Temperature
ee Medium Temperature
eoo High Temperature
Many garments are labeled with these dots as a guide for selecting the proper ironing
temperature. For general information about ironing temperatures, refer to the handy fabric
guide on the iron. For more specific information, use the "Fabric Ironing Chart" found on
page 9.
As a guide to the international Textile Care Labeling Code, the following symbols are noted for
