• The appliance must be used and placed on a stable
surface.
• When placed on its stand, make sure that the
surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
• The iron should not be used if it has been dropped,
if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking
water. It must be checked by an authorized Technical
Service Centre before it can be used again.
• With the aim of avoiding dangerous situations, any
work or repair that the appliance may need, e.g.
replacing a faulty mains cable, must only be carried
out by qualified personnel from an Authorised
Technical Service Centre.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and persons with reduced

• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children
less than 8 years of age when it is energized or
cooling down.
• C AUTION. Hot surface.
Surface is liable to get hot during use.
• This appliance is designed only for household use
up to 2000m above sea level.
• This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with the
information stated on its characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If it is
absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that it
is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows, the appliance will be
rendered inoperative. To restore normal operation the appliance will
have to be taken to an authorised Technical Service Centre.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions,
phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can
happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power
supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . If necessary,
the user can ask the public power supply company for the system
impedance at the interface point.
• The appliance must never be placed directly under the tap to fill the
water tank.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or if a
fault is suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by pulling
the cable.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain, sun,
frost, etc.).
TiPs TO helP YOu sAve enerGY
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the
energy used, follow the advice below:
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam
setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble
drier to the 'iron dry' programme.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the
steam regulator on generates wasted steam.

! Attention! risk of burns!
Always unplug the appliance from the mains supply before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation on it.
1. Never decalcify the water tank (E) or treat it with detergents or
solvents, otherwise the iron will drip water whilst steaming!
2. If the iron is only slightly soiled, allow the soleplate (G) to cool down.
Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.
3. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the high temperature on the
soleplate. Switch off the steam and rub off any residue immediately
with a thickly folded, damp cotton cloth.
4. To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
