• 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 tank 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?
• Your appliance was designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is
necessary to periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any mineral deposits.
• Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled water, water from clothes dryers, scented
or softened water, rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators,
batteries or air conditioners, as these may damage the iron. These types of water
contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your iron.
Environment protection first !
i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
 Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
