•
Put the steam iron into storage only
when it has cooled down completely.
• Never place the steam iron on edges,
for example table edges. It could tip
and fall down.
•
Stand the steam iron only on its back
end, or lay it in the support tray provi-
ded on the ironing board. Never lean
the hot iron against walls or other ob-
jects. There could be a risk of fire
breaking out.
Danger of electrical shock!
• Connect the steam iron only to correctly
installed wall power sockets.
• To avoid possible dangers, arrange for a
defective appliance to be checked and
possibly repaired by qualified techni-
cians, or contact our Customer Service
Department.
• Arrange for defective power cables to
be replaced immediately by qualified
technicians, or contact our Customer
Service Department.
• To disconnect from the power source,
pull only on the plug itself, not on the
cable.
• Never direct the steam jets or the water-
spray jets at electrical appliances or at
objects sensitive to heat or moisture.
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power
cable. Arrange it in such a way that it
can not come into contact with hot
surfaces and such that no-one can
step on it or trip over it.
• After every use, before cleaning and
when refilling with water , remove
the plug from the power socket.
• Always unroll the power cable fully
before switching on and do not use
an extension cord.
• Never touch the power cable or the
power plug with wet hands.
• Under no circumstances should you
submerge the steam iron in any liquid
or permit liquids to penetrate into the
housing of the steam iron. You should
never expose the appliance to moisture
or use the device outdoors. Should
liquids penetrate into the appliance
housing , immediately remove the plug
from the power source and arrange
for the appliance to be repaired by a
qualified specialist workshop or by the
Customer Service Department.
•
Never use the steam iron adjacent to
water contained in a bath, shower,
wash basin or other vessels. The proxi-
mity of moisture presents a danger,
even when the appliance is switched
off.
• You may not open the housing of the
steam iron. Arrange for a defective
steam iron to be repaired only by a
qualified specialist workshop or by
the Customer Service Department.
• Should the steam iron fall to the
floor, become otherwise damaged, or
the power plug or cable becomes de-
fective, it may no longer be taken in-
to use. In such cases, arrange for the
appliance to be checked and possibly
repaired by a qualified workshop or
our Customer Service Department.
• Do not allow individuals (including
children) to use the appliance whose
physical, sensorial or mental abilities
or lack of experience and knowledge
hinder their safe usage of it if they
have not previously been supervised
or instructed in its correct usage.
