GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Carefully read the requirements
in this manual and keep in a safe
place. It contains important in-
structions on the safety, use and future of
your appliance.
This appliance is only for domestic use
and must only to be used for the purpose
it was specifically designed: and that is
for the ironing of fabrics.
Any other use is to be considered impro-
per and therefore dangerous. The con-
structor cannot be held responsible for
eventual damages occurring from impro-
per, wrong and unreasonable uses. The
installation must be effected as by the
constructors’ prescriptions. A wrong in-
stallation can cause damages to persons,
animals and things. The constructor can-
not be help responsible of this. The safety
of the electric appliances is guaranteed
only if these are connected to an electric
network supplied with suitable earthing
as by what has been agreed upon by the
actual standards in force concerning the
electric safety.
The packing elements (plastic bags, nails,
expanded polystyrene. etc…) must not be
left at reach of children or disabled as
they represent a potential source of dan-
ger.
Before connecting the appliance make
sure that the data on the rating label are
the same as the mains supply of your
home.
In case of incompatibility between the
socket and the plug contact qualified
personnel in order to effect the necessary
changes.
In general the use of adaptors, multiple
sockets and/or extensions are unadvisa-
ble.
If their use is absolutely necessary use
only materials in conformity with the laws
in force concerning the safety and having
the requirements of compatibility with
appliance and electric network.
The use of any electric appliance requires
the respect of a few fundamental rules
and in particular:
• Do not immerge the appliance in water.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or
damp hands
• Do not use the appliance barefooted
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling
on the appliance or the cable–always use
the plug itself.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to
atmospheric agents (rain, sun).
• We recommend to not leave the ap-
pliance at the reach of children or disa-
bled and do not allow them to use it.
• Always disconnect the plug from the
socket when it is not used or before ef-
fecting any cleaning or maintenance ope-
ration.
The feeding cable must always be unrol-
led for all its length this in order to avoid
overheating.
In case of damaged feeding cable, foresee
to the replacement, which must be effec-
ted by qualified personnel.
In case of damage and/or bad functioning
turn off the appliance and contact quali-
fied personnel.
Any tampering or operation affected by
unqualified personnel make you loose the
right of guarantee.
• Before using the iron for the first time,
make sure that you have removed all the
labels or protection films from the plate.
Clean the plate using a soft cloth.
• Some parts of the iron are slightly lubri-
cated and therefore the appliance, at the
moment of the first lighting up, could
give out a bit of smoke. This smoke will
stop in a short time.
• Always keep the ironing plate “B” always
smooth; do not make it slide on metallic
objects (ex. Iron support grid, metal but-
tons, zippers, etc…)
• Do not leave water in the machine when
the room temperature is 0° C or below.
• Do not fill the appliance under a running
tap.
• Do not allow the supply cable to come
into contact with the ironing plate.
