shock, do not immerse the appliance in
water or other liquids.
3. The appliance should always be turned
off before plugging or unplugging from
electrical outlet. Never pull the cord to
disconnect from outlet, instead grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.

Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk
of electric shock when the appliance is
used after reassembly.
7. Close supervision is required for any
appliance used by or near children. Do
not leave the iron unattended while
the appliance is connected or on an
ironing board.

avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate a Pro Precision steam station
on the same circuit with another high

shall be used. A cord rated for less
amperage can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock due to overheating. Care
shall be taken to arrange the cord so that
it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

used with untreated tap water. If your
water is very hard, (hardness above 30°F ,
or 17°dH or 21°e) use a mixture of 50%

seaside regions, salt content might be
high. In that case, use only water bottle,
with low mineral level.
• They are different type of softened
water, and most of them can be used
in your appliance. However, some of
them, especially the one with chemical
