Before switching the iron on, make sure that
your home mains voltage corresponds to the iron
operating voltage.
•
There may be water residue in the tank, this is
normal, as the iron has undergone factory qual-
ity control.

time, the heating element of the iron burns, therefore
occurrence of foreign smell and a small amount of
smoke is possible, it is normal.
