if it has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions

abnormally in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle

your appliance: have it examined at an Approved

Service Centre to avoid any danger.

• The iron should only be used with the base provided

(for cordless irons).

• Check the electrical power for sign of wear or damage

prior to use. If the electrical power cord is damaged,

it must be replaced at an Approved Service Centre to

avoid any danger.

• The iron must always be placed on its base and never on its heel (for cordless irons)

• Your iron and its base must be used and placed on a stable surface. When you place the iron on its base, ensure that the surface

on which the base is placed is stable.

• For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility,

Environment, etc).

• Your steam iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for domestic use only.

• Always plug your steam iron:

- into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V,

- into an earthed electrical socket.

Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee. If you are

using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth, and is fully extended.

• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.

• The soleplate of your iron can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the

electrical power cords with the soleplate of the iron.

• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing vertically. Never

direct the steam towards people or animals.

• Never immerse your steam iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.

• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.

Before first use

When you first use the iron, some smoke or a harmless odour may be produced or there may be a small discharge of particles.

This will not affect the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

What water to use?

Tap water can be used. If the water is very hard (hardness above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e), we recommend a mixture of 50 % tap

water and 50 % demineralised water.

Take care not to use water containing any additives (such as starch, ironing water, scent, aromatic substances, softener, etc.), nor

water from batteries or condensation water (for example from condensation dryers), which risk causing permanent damage to

the steam function of the soleplate.

Please do not use scale-removing products, which risk damaging the lining of the steam chamber and thereby

impairing the flow of steam.
