AFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Important! Your electrical installation must correspond to that of your iron (220-
240V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the
iron and this will invalidate the guarantee.
• This iron must be plugged into an earthed socket. If you are using an
extension lead, ensure that it is bipolar (10A-or 13A for UK only) with an earth.
• If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by an Approved
Service Centre as this is dangerous.
• Never immerse the iron in water!
• The appliance must be unplugged before filling or emptying the tank
• If the iron is dropped, have it checked by a professional before reuse: invisible
damage may be dangerous.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
• The soleplate of the iron may be very hot:
- never touch it
- always leave it to cool before you put it away
- never leave your iron unattended when plugged in or when the soleplate is still hot.
- keep your iron away from children.
Never take your iron apart: call the Helpline or consult your Approved
