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

• Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is
designed for domestic use only.
• It is equipped with 2 safety systems:
- a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event of malfunction, the valve
releases excess steam.
- a thermal fuse to avoid overheating.
• Always plug your steam generator iron:
- into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V (Alternating current only),
- a socket outlet with an earth connection.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your
guarantee.
• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in good
condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket outlet.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and
can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting
sideways.
• 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 generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.
