2 Sit the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface,
preferably a purpose-built “steam generator” type ironing board.
3 Rest the iron only on the base unit.
4 Use the iron only on a stable surface.
5 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in or standing on
the ironing board. It could be knocked over.
7 Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped, damaged, malfunctions or leaks.
8 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.
¬
The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.
H
Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
9 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer.
10 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
11 Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
12 Don’t sit the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block
the vents underneath the base unit.
13 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
14 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
15 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
16 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this
happens, the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

REMOVE ALL PACKAGING
•
Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
C
CURE THE ELEMENT
•
Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a
scrap piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
•
Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it’ll stop as the residues evaporate.
C
WATER
1 Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.
2 If the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, and you don’t have a replacement, you
should use distilled water while you’re waiting for the replacement to be delivered.
3 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.
4 Don’t add anything to the water, and don’t use water with anything added to it.
5 When the water is converted to steam, chemicals, perfume, and other additives will
coat the inside of the steam chamber, shortening the life of the iron.
C
FILLING
6 Switch off (

), and unplug before filling.
7 Remove the reservoir:

b) press the catch on the top rear of the reservoir with the other hand
c) pull the reservoir out of the base unit
