voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
rating plate.
Only connect the appliance to a power supply and
sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A and pro-
vided with an earth connection.
• If the socket and power cable plug are incompatible, the
socket should be changed by qualified personnel only.
• The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if correc-
tly connected to a proper and effective earth connection
as specified by current electrical safety standards and
regulations. The manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible for damage caused by the absence of an
earth connection on the power supply line. If in doubt,
consult an expert.
• Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged in.
• Never leave the appliance filled with water in a room
where it will be subject to a temperature below or equal
to 0°C.
• After removing the packing, make sure the appliance is
not damaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and
contact professional personnel.
• Do not leave packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene foam,
etc) within reach of children as they could be dangerous.
• Adapters, multiple sockets and/or extensions should not
be used. If their use is necessary, only adapters, multiple
sockets and extensions complying with current safety
standards and regulations should be used, taking care
not to exceed the power limit indicated on the adapter.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. Any
other use is considered improper and thus dangerous.
• Noises could occur when the steam generator is heating
up or cooling down. This is due to normal expansion of
the stainless steel it is made from.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by
inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for
damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified
personnel.
• If the cap or hydraulic and electric safety system are
damaged, have the components replaced with original
spare parts by qualified personnel.
• To repair or if the power cable is damaged and requires
replacement, contact an authorised Customer Service
Centre in order to avoid compromising the efficiency of
your appliance and guarantee the validity of the guaran-
tee. For the same reasons, you are always recommended
to use original spare parts.
• Do not open the cap while using the appliance or before
all the water has been exhausted. This occurs when
steam is no longer discharged by the iron. To add water,
unplug and wait about 15 minutes to avoid sudden tem-
perature changes. Place a cloth over the cap and
unscrew slowly to allow residual steam to escape slowly.
• Use the iron rest provided ONLY. If it is damaged, use
only an original replacement.
The use of all electrical appliances implies the observance of
some fundamental rules.
