using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth, and is fully extended.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.
• The soleplate of your iron can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the
electrical power cords with the soleplate of the iron.
• 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 iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
Before first use
When you first use the iron, some smoke or a harmless odour may be produced or there may be a small discharge of particles. This
will not affect the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
What water to use?
Your iron has been designed to use tap water. However, the self-clean function must be performed regularly on the steam chamber
to remove limescale.
If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% bottled demineralised water.
Never use water con
taining additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.), or condensation water (for example
water from tumble dryers, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioning units, rainwater). This water contains organic waste
materials or minerals that concentrate under the effect of heat and cause spitting, brown colouring or premature ageing of your
appliance.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS INSTRUCTION
BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
