Danger of electrical shocks!
• The voltage of the power supply must comply with that given on the appliance’s
rating plate.
• To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective appliance to be checked and
repaired by a qualified workshop, or contact our Customer Service Department.
• To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or power cables to be replaced
immediately by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
• To disconnect from the power source, pull only on the plug itself, never on the
cable.
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable. Arrange it in such a way that it
cannot come into contact with hot surfaces and so that no-one can step on it
or trip over it.
• Remove the plug from the power socket after every use, before cleaning and
when refilling with water.
• Always unwind the power cable fully before switching on and do not use an
extension cable.
• Never touch the power cable or the power plug with wet hands.
• Never use the steam iron adjacent to water contained in a bath, shower, wash
basin or other containers. The proximity of water is hazardous, even if the ap-
pliance is switched off.
• Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam iron in any liquid or
allow liquids to penetrate into the housing of the steam iron. Do not expose the
appliance to moisture and do not use it outdoors. If liquid gets into the
housing, disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket immediately
and have it repaired by a qualified technician.
• You may not open the steam iron housing. Have a defective appliance repaired
only by an authorised technician.
• Under NO circumstance should you use the appliance if it shows visible signs
of damage, has been dropped or leaks water. Arrange for it to be repaired
by qualified specialists.
• Stop using the appliance if the anti-kink protection on the power cable is
damaged!
