Before first use
• Before using your iron with steam for the first time, we recommend that
you place and keep the iron in a horizontal position for a few moments
and press the burst of steam button
several times away from your
fabric.
• During the first few uses, a harmless odor and smoke may be emitted
from the iron. This has no effect on the iron and will disappear quickly.
Please read these instructions
carefully and keep them for
future reference.
Remove any labels, stickers or
hangtags from the body or
soleplate of the iron before
plugging it in.
ENG
Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Center to avoid any danger.
• Always unplug your appliance: before filling or rinsing the reservoir, before cleaning it and after each use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source; if it has not cooled down for
approximately 1 hour.
• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner of your
ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its heel or the iron
rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.
• Any inappropriate use or use contrary to these instructions releases the brand from all responsibility and
renders the guarantee invalid.
• Your iron has been designed to function with untreated tap water.
However, due to the natural minerals found in tap water, it is
recommended that you clean the iron once a month using the self
cleaning method on page 5.
•
Never use
any of the following water types as this may cause
spitting, brown staining or premature aging of your iron: 100%
purified water (bottled water), water from tumble dryers, scented
water, softened water, water from refrigerators, water from batteries,
water from air conditioners, distilled water, rain water, boiled or
filtered water, etc.
• The integrated anti-scale system (depending on model) prolongs the
life of the iron and provides a better ironing quality by ensuring a
constant flow of steam.
What type of water should be used?
If you have very hard water, it
is recommended that you mix
tap water with purified
(bottled) water in the following
ratio:
- 50% tap water,
- 50% purified (bottled) water.
This will reduce the amount of
lime scale build-up in your iron
and reduce the amount of
times you will need to clean
your iron.
