an earth, and is fully extended.

• Never immerse your steam iron in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the
water tap.
• Never touch the electric cord with the soleplate of the iron.

Environment protection first !
i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered

 Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
BEFORE USE
Warning ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.
Warning ! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we
recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments,
away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.
During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may
be given off.
This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
1 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check
with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50%
untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral
elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the
appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from
refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water
or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing
board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam
venting sideways.
USE
