IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to ‘ Off ’ before plugging or unplugging from
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or dam-
aged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron take it to a
qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do
not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating normally. Disconnect
from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced by qualified service personnel.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
12. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.
13. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical,sensory or mental capabilities,or lack of experience and knowledge,unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a perliance by a person responsible for their safety.
14. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
15. If the supply cord is damaged,it must be replaced by the manufacturer,its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
More specifically:
DO NOT
let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
NEVER
immerse the iron, cable or plug in any liquid.
DO NOT
leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
DO NOT
leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the
mains when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER
touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT
use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the
socket.
DO NOT
leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.).
DO NOT
leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
DO NOT
fill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not use chemical additive, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to com-
ply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-
up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-
calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to com-
ply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point
where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks
or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporiza-
tion, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining
them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in
the upright position or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The
light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the
device turns off and the iron starts working again.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear
some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a
short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for
the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label,
or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
