IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
Make sure the voltage used corresponds with
•
the one indicated on the rating label.
Use the iron only for needed use as described
•
in the instruction manual.
Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used near children. Do not leave iron un-
attended while connected or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam.
Keep the iron out of reach of children.
•
The iron should never be left unattended while
•
it is connected to the mains supply.
Unplug the iron from the mains electrical sup-
•
ply before:
1) Cleaning
2)Filling with water or emptying the water tank
3) Immediately after use
Never operate the iron with a damaged power
•
cord or plug, or after it has fallen or been dam-
aged in any way. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to
a qualified serviceman for examination and
repair.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.
•
To protect against a risk of electric hazards,
•
do not immerse the iron in water or any other
liquid.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable
•
surface.
The iron is not to be used if it has been
•
dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be
•
produced the first time, this will quickly disap-
pear.
When using the steam function for the first
•
time, do not direct the steam towards the laun-
dry, as there could be debris from the steam
vents.
FILLING WITH WATER
Make sure that both the Steam Control turn-
•
ing Knob and Temperature Control Dial are in
“OFF” position.
Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling
•
inlet is in a horizontal position.
Fill with water through Water Filling Inlet until
•
the water reach the “MAX” mark indicated on
the side of the iron, and never fill above this
mark.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
Follow the ironing instructions on the garment la-
bel. If there is no instruction but you do know the
kind of fabric, please consult the following table.

rics, always select the temperature required by the
