9 - SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Your steam generator is an electric appliance: It should be used in normal usage conditions. It is intended for
domestic use only.
Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:
- A boiler closure cap for limiting the pressure. If there is a malfunction, the cap allows steam to escape ;
- A thermal fuse for preventing any overheating.
Always plug your steam generator into:
- An electrical installation with a voltage between 220 and 240 V. Connecting to the wrong voltage
may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.
- An earthed socket. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (I0 A)
with an earth, and is fully extended.
Should the power cord or the boiler cord linking the iron to the base become damaged,
it must be replaced by an approved service centre to avoid the risk of danger or injury.
Be careful:
The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns: never touch these parts.
Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical function.
Always keep the steam generator away from children.
Never leave the appliance unattended:
- when it is plugged in,
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
Always unplug your appliance:
- Before filling or emptying the boiler,
- Before cleaning your generator,
- After each use.
In order to unscrew the boiler cap, always ensure that:
- either your generator is cold (that is, unplugged for over 1 hour);
- or there is no more pressure in the boiler (the iron does not produce any steam when
the steam control button is activated).
In all other cases, never attempt to unscrew the boiler cap while it is in use: the strong steam pressure could
cause burns.
Be careful:
If the boiler cap is dropped or severely knocked, have it replaced by an Approved Service Centre, as it may be
damaged.
Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the water tap.
While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly under the tap.
If the appliance falls, receives a violent blow or is not operating correctly, do not dismantle it: take it to an
Approved Service Centre, to avoid any danger.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only. In the case of professional use, inappropriate use or failure to
comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee does not apply.
