• Your steam iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for domestic use only.

• Always plug your steam iron:
  – into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V,
  – into an earthed electrical socket.

• Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee. If you are 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 may be used?

Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. However, the steam chamber auto-clean should be run regularly in order to remove limescale. If your water is very hard (hardness above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e), we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% commercially available demineralized water.

• Never use water containing additives (starch, perfume, flavoring, softener etc.), condensation water (for example, rainwater or water from tumble dryers, refrigerators or air conditioning units), pure commercially available demineralized water or pure commercially available distilled water. They contain organic waste and minerals that become concentrated when heated and can cause spitting, lead to brown water spots or reduce the lifespan of your appliance
