Important safety instructions

  • Only use the iron for its intended use—it is designed for household use only.
  • To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
  • Always turn the iron OFF before plugging into or unplugging from the electrical outlet.
  • Never pull on the cord to unplug; instead, grasp the plug and pull on it to remove from outlet.
  • Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.
  • Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet before filling iron with water, emptying iron from water, or when iron is not in use.
  • Do not use the iron if the cord or the appliance itself shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been dropped or is leaking.
  • If the iron seems damaged or malfunctions, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Do not disassemble yourself as incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock.
  • Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when turning the iron upside down—there may be hot water in the water tank.
  • Never release steam facing people.
  • To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate the iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
  • If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. Using a cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.
  • The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
  • The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
  • Close supervision is required for any appliance used near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while it is plugged into the outlet or when it is on an ironing board.
  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with appliance. Parents must warn children not to touch hot appliance parts.
  • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instructions concerning use of this appliance by a person responsible for their safety

Using

  • Remove all labels and protective films prior to use.
  • Before ironing your clothes or fabric for the first time, it is recommended that you heat the iron and use it on a damp piece of cloth for a few minutes. This will ensure that any residue left over from the manufacturing process is burnt off the ceramic soleplate and won’t transfer to your clothes.
  • You may notice a slight odor and some steam coming out of the iron when using it for the first time. This is normal and should disappear quickly.

Cleaning Iron

  • Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the soleplate completely cool before cleaning.
  • Do not use any rough or corrosive chemicals to wipe the soleplate.
  • Any residue or specks can be wiped off using a cloth with vinegar or water.
  • A needle or toothpick can be helpful to clean the steam holes on the soleplate.
  • Avoid scratching the soleplate with hard objects.

Quality + Sustainability

Your new Electrolux garment care supertool is designed with sustainability in mind.

Concept

Our key design philosophy is to achieve top performance with the lowest energy demand.
Carefully calibrated power generates more steam with less electricity, which saves on runtime, yields smoother clothing in fewer passes, delivers a longer- lasting press, rejuvenates clothing to retain newness, and ultimately keeps energy and garments from waste.

Components

You only get out what you put in, so we insist on parts made with more sustainable materials and processes.
In line with the SDGs created by the UN, we use innovative materials that help both performance and planet, such as post-consumer rubber cords, repurposed plastics, and recyclable ceramicized soleplates that offer even edge-toedge heating.

Package

This box is for keeps. Made of the finest recycled materials, it features an original, reusable design.
An exclusive, heat-resistant inner pad enables you to safely store your garment care tool even while it’s hot. And the striking, inkless box turns into a valuable, décor-friendly storage container you will enjoy keeping in your home, and out of landfills.
