INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Hotpoint's Garment Care. Thank
you for purchasing our new steam generator.
We recommend registering this product on
www.hotpoint.co.uk to make sure you are
entitled to all the benefits made available by
Hotpoint's Customer Service.
This appliance was developed for household use only
and is not intended for industrial use.
Before you begin using the appliance, it is
important that you thoroughly read these
instructions and carefully keep them for further
reference.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
The safety features of your steam generator comply
with the technical specifications and regulations in
force.
The voltage of your system must match the
voltage of the steam generator (220-240 V).
Any connection error could cause irreversible
damage to the steam generator and void its
warranty.
• Use the appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
• This product is intended only for ironing of
clothing and household laundry.
• Only connect the appliance to a grounded
socket. When using an extension cord, make
sure that a grounded socket is available.
• Regularly check the condition of the power cord.
• When cleaning the appliance, make sure it has
been unplugged from the socket.
• Disconnect the plug from the socket by holding
the plug and not by pulling the cable.
• Prevent the power cord and steam cable from
touching the hot soleplate. Use the special cord-
rewinding clip.
The iron soleplate and the water / steam
coming out of the soleplate are very hot and
can burn your skin.
• Before storing the steam generator, wait until it
has completely cooled down - it will take about
three hours.
• Do not direct steam towards people or animals
and do not iron garments while worn.
• Never add any perfume, vinegar, starch,
scale-removing agents, ironing products
or other chemicals in the water reservoir -
unless recommended by Hotpoint. Never use
contaminated water.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not leave the appliance in the open air and
exposed to inclement weather conditions.
• Never leave or use the appliance over or close
to flames, ovens, flammable materials or other
sources of heat.
When being used, the boiler can get very
hot. Wait until the steam generator has
completely cooled down before putting it away.
• Should you suspect a failure, immediately unplug
it from the electrical socket.
• The manufacturer shall assume no responsibility
in case of damage resulting from any improper
use of the appliance.
Replacing the fuse
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA appro-
ved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the
fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug
must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
