This appliance corresponds to
accepted technological standards
with regards to safety. Neverthe­less, as a manufacturer we con­sider it our obligation to make you
aware of the following safety infor­mation.

General Safety

• The operating voltage of the appli­ance and the mains voltage as well
as the type of current must match
(see the rating plate).

• Only plug into a correctly installed
earthed mains socket.

• Always remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use.

• Never pull the plug from the socket
by means of the mains cable!

• Prior to cleaning or in the event of
a malfunction, unplug the appli­ance first!

• The iron is not to be used if it has
been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking.

• Do not use the appliance if the
mains cable is damaged.

• Do not let the mains cable of an
appliance hang over the edge of a
table or bench top or touch any hot
surface.

extension cable unless this cable
has been checked and tested by a
qualified technician or service per­son.

near a hot gas flame, electric ele­ment or on a heated oven. Do not
place on top of any other appli­ance.

• If the appliance is used for pur­poses other than those intended or
used incorrectly, no liability can be
accepted for any damage that may
be caused.

• 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 initial
supervision or instruction concern­ing use of the appliance by a per­son responsible for their safety.

Child Safety

• Never leave the appliance unat­tended while in use. If children
come into contact with a hot
steam iron it could lead to serious
burns.

• Keep children away from electrical
appliances.

• Packaging material, e.g. plastic
bags, should not be accessible to
children.

• Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

Safety in operation

• The steam iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface.

• When placing the iron on its stand,
ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable.

• Caution! When in use, the sole­plate and cover of the steam iron
reach high operating temperatures.

• When steam ironing, steam is
emitted from the holes in the sole­plate where if care is not taking,
there is a risk of burns.

• A steam iron takes approximately
30 minutes to cool down. Only
store the appliance once it is cool
and after emptying any remaining
water.

• Do not wind the cord around the
soleplate while the steam iron is
still hot.

• Always unplug the steam iron from
the power outlet before filling or
emptying the water tank.

Safety in cleaning and care

• Follow the cleaning instructions.

• Prior to cleaning, unplug the appli­ance first and allow the steam iron
to cool completely.

• Do not immerse the appliance in
water or any other liquid.

Operating

Before first use

0 Remove any adhesive stickers,

plastic covers or cardboard
sleeves from the soleplate.

0 Ensure that all adhesive is

removed by rubbing the soleplate
with a cloth dampened with meth­ylated spirits.

0 Fill the water tank (see following

chapter) and empty the water. This
will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining from the manufacturing
process.

When turned on for the first time,

3

your new steam iron may give off
vapours for up to 10 minutes. This
is due to the initial heating of the
materials used. It is safe, not detri­mental to the performance of the
steam iron, and will not reoccur.

Filling the steam iron with
water

Before filling the steam iron with

1

water ensure that the plug is
removed from the power outlet.
The steam iron can be filled with
water while it is hot.

0 Turn the steam selector (Fig. 1/G)

to the "dry" setting.
