stable surface.
• When placed on its stand, make sure that the
surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
• The iron should not be used if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or
if it is leaking water. It must be checked by an
authorized Technical Service Centre before it
can be used again.
• With the aim of avoiding dangerous situations,
any work or repair that the appliance may need,
e.g. replacing a faulty mains cable, must only
be carried out by qualified personnel from an
Authorised Technical Service Centre.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack

Important notices
• This appliance has been designed exclusively for domestic use
and must not be used for industrial purposes.
• This appliance reaches high temperatures and produces steam
during use, this could cause scalds or burns in case of improper
use.
- Do not touch the soleplate! Hold the iron by its handle.
- Do not leave the power cable hanging over the table or ironing
board, to prevent the appliance from falling.
- Do not iron clothing while it is being worn!
- Never spray or aim the steam at persons or animals!
• Do not allow the power cable to come into contact with sharp
edges or with the soleplate when it is hot.
• Never rest the iron in a horizontal position when the soleplate
is hot. Rest it on its heel.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands when in operation.
• This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with
the information stated on its characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If it is
absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that
it is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions,
phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations
can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a
power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.26
Ω
. If
necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company
for the system impedance at the interface point.
• The appliance must never be placed directly under the tap to
fill the water tank.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or
if a fault is suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by
pulling the cable.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain,
sun, frost, etc.).
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows, the appliance
will be rendered inoperative. To restore normal operation the
appliance will have to be taken to an authorised Technical
Service Centre.
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise
the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the
steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather
than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them,
set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ programme.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with
the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
