Danger of electric shock!
This is an electrical appliance and may cause electric shock.
You should therefore respect the following safety warnings:
• Never touch the appliance with damp hands.
• Never use the appliance with bare or wet feet.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cable
or the appliance itself.
• If the socket and power cable plug are incompatible,
the socket should be changed for a suitable type by a
qualified professional. Adapters, multiple sockets or ex-
tensions should not be used.
To fill or top up with water, turn the ironing
system off using the switch, then unplug
from the mains.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer servi-
ces in order to avoid all risk.
• Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the appliance
by unplugging from the mains.
• Before using the appliance, check that the mains
supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indica-
ted on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to
an efficiently earthed power supply and sockets
with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.
Surfaces marked with this symbol

The user must not leave the iron unatten-
ded while connected to the mains power
supply;
When power is on or when cooling down,
keep the appliance out of reach of children

• During use, the steam generator should not be moved.
• IMPORTANT: the tube connecting the iron and steam
generator may become hot.
• All contact between the hot base and cables must be
rigorously avoided.

Important safeguards

Important:
• The first time you use the appliance, after removing the
packaging, make sure the appliance is complete and
undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and
contact qualified personnel only.
Remove the protection from the soleplate.
• Dispose of the plastic bag with care as it represents a
hazard for children.
This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given super-
vision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not
be made by children without supervision.
• Use the removable iron rest on an ironing board.
• NEVER use the iron rest on a table. The heat could ruin
the surface!
• "Safe transport": certain models are fitted with a
locking system which locks the iron in position during
transport. When the iron is locked in position, it
must not be used as a carrying handle to transport
the appliance! To position the iron correctly, insert the
tip of the soleplate into the housing, rest the iron on
the iron rest and move the lock to the locking position
(fig. 1).
To release the iron, move the lock to the release position
and remove the iron from the housing (fig. 2).
• While ironing, you can rest the tip of the soleplate on the
heat resistant base above the housing.
The appliance must be used and rested on
a stable heat resistant surface.
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure
that the surface on which the stand is pla-
ced is stable.
• NEVER store the iron in a vertical position!
