Important
• Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations
before you start using the steam iron.
• Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate before
you use the appliance for the first time. Clean the soleplate
with a soft cloth.
• To prevent damage: check if the voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you
connect the appliance.
• Use an earthed wall socket.
• Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains:
- before filling the iron with water or pouring out the remaining
water after use.
- before cleaning the iron.
• When you have finished ironing and also when you leave the
iron for a short while, always:
- set the steam control to position O;
- put the iron on its heel;
- remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Do not put vinegar, starch, chemically descaled water or
descaling agents in the water reservoir.
• Make sure the cord does not touch the soleplate when it is hot.

the steam at people.

place.

soon cease.
