Preparation
What water may be used ?
• This appliance has been designed to be used with
untreated tap water.
• Types of water not to use: In order to prolong your
appliance life, you should not use water from clothes
dryers, scented or softened water containing additives,
water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain
water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. Do not use pure
distilled nor pure demineralised water.
• All the type of water listed above may contain organic
edges.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the
base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and
can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the
electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close
enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and
premature wear of the water connection cord.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent
water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting
sideways. Be careful of hot steam when ironing close to
the edges of the board.
• Your appliance produces steam which may cause burns.
– Handle the iron carefully, especially when ironing
vertically.
– Never iron a piece of clothing while it is worn by a
person, but always when it is on a hanger.
– Never iron while in a sitting position with one’s legs
under the ironing board.
– Never point the steam at people or animals.
• Never immerse your appliance in water or any other
liquid. Never place it under a running tap.
• During first use, your appliance may give off
