11- SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• For your safety, this appliance conforms to the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage, Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Materials in contact with foodstuffs, Environmental Directives, as applicable …).
• Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended for domestic use only.
• Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems :
- A pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any excess steam.
- A thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.
• This appliance is not intended to be used by children or without supervision by persons whose physical, sensory or mental
aptitude to use it in complete safety is impaired. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• When you place the iron on the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable.
• Always plug your steam generator into :
- An electrical installation with voltage between 120V and 240V. Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the applian-
ce and will invalidate your guarantee.
- An earthed socket. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (10A) with an earth, and is fully extended.
• Should the power cord or the boiler cord linking the iron to the base unit become damaged, it must be replaced by a TEFAL approved service
centre in order to avoid any danger.
Be careful :
• The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns : never touch these parts.
• If you store your appliance in a cupboard or confined space, make sure that you let it cool down before putting it away.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
• Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical function.
• Never direct the steam towards persons or animals.
• Never touch the electric cord with the soleplate of the iron.
• Never leave the appliance unattended :
- when it is connected to the mains ;
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
• Always unplug your appliance :
- before filling or rinsing 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 a TEFAL 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.
• The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks or fails to function correctly. Never dismantle your
appliance.To avoid any danger, have it inspected in a TEFAL approved service centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. In the case of professional use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions,
TEFAL accepts no responsibility and the guarantee does not apply.
