• Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should
be used under normal conditions. It is intended for domes-
tic use only.
• Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:
- a pressure release valve which, in the event of a mal-
function, releases any excess steam;

ting.
• Always plug your steam generator into:
- an electrical installation with voltage between 230V and
240V.
- an earthed socket.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable
damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.
If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is
correctly rated (10A) with an earth, and is fully extended.
• Completely unwind the power cord from its storage
space before connecting to an earthed socket.

damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service

Never touch the electric cords with the soleplate of the
iron.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the ver-
tical steam function. Never direct the steam towards per-
