IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
Make sure the voltage used corresponds with
the one indicated on the rating label.
Use the iron only for needed use as described
in the instruction manual.
Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used near children. Do not leave iron un-
attended while connected or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam.
Keep the iron out of reach of children.
The iron should never be left unattended while
it is connected to the mains supply.
Unplug the iron from the mains electrical sup-
ply before:
1) Cleaning
2)Filling with water or emptying the water tank
3) Immediately after use
Never operate the iron with a damaged power
cord or plug, or after it has fallen or been dam-
aged in any way. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to
a qualified serviceman for examination and
repair.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.
To protect against a risk of electric hazards,
do not immerse the iron in water or any other
liquid.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface.
The iron is not to be used if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be
produced the first time, this will quickly disap-
pear.
When using the steam function for the first
time, do not direct the steam towards the laun-
dry, as there could be debris from the steam
vents.
FILLING WITH WATER
Make sure that both the Steam Control turn-
ing Knob and Temperature Control Dial are in
“OFF” position.
Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling
inlet is in a horizontal position.
Fill with water through Water Filling Inlet until
the water reach the “MAX” mark indicated on
the side of the iron, and never fill above this
mark.

bel. If there is no instruction but you do know the

rics, always select the temperature required by the
