Before using the iron for the first time

Please carry out the following steps:

1.Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before using the iron.

2.While the iron is unplugged, fill the water tank (D) with tap water

3.Plug the appliance into the mains and set the temperature control (H) to the “•••” position by lining it up with the pointer

(G) on the iron.

4.When the iron has reached the correct temperature (the

pilot lamp “I” will goes out), set the steam regulator (A) to the maximum position .

5.Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press the shot of steam button (L). Any residue should come out of the soleplate (E). It may smoke and smell – this is normal and will cease after a short while.

6.If necessary, carefully clean the soleplate down with a dry, folded cloth

Cleaning and Maintenance

DO NOT de-scale or clean the water tank with cleaning products or solvents, as these could cause the iron to drip when using the steam function.

DO NOT use a “professional steam cleaner” for cleaning the appliance.

DO NOT use sharp objects or abrasive products to clean the soleplate or any other part of the appliance. To keep the soleplate in good condition, do not allow it to come into contact with metal objects.

GUARANTEE TERMS

The terms of the guarantee for this appliance are in accordance with that stated by our representative for the country in which it is sold. Details of those conditions can be obtained from the retailer from whom the appliance was purchased. The SALES RECEIPT must be presented when making any claims against the terms of this guarantee. We reserve the right to make technical modifications.

Environmental Care

This iron has been redesigned according to ecological criteria, related to the sustainable development, analyzing its whole lifecycle - from material selection to its later reusing or recycling - evaluating the improvement possibilities, from a technical, economical and environmental point of view.

Before throwing a used appliance away, you should make it noticeably inoperable e.g. cut off the mains lead and be certain to dispose of it in accordance with current laws and regulations.

Your retailer, town council or local council can give you detailed information about these.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).

The guideline determines the framework for the return and re­ cycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:

•Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature.

•Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature.

•Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray function instead.

•Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.

•If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator completely.

•Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.

Important

This appliance has been designed exclusively for domestic use and must not be used for industrial purposes.

Carefully read through the operating instructions for the appliance and safeguard them for future reference.

General safety warnings

•Danger of electric shocks or fire!

•This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with the information stated on its characteristics plate.

•This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that it is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.

•The iron should not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking water. It must be checked by an authorized Technical Service Centre before it can be used again.

•Do not allow the power cable to come into contact with the soleplate when it is hot.

•In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.

•This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•Keep the appliance out of children’s reach.

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

•Remove the plug from the socket before filling the appliance with water or before pouring out the remaining water after use.

•The appliance must never be placed directly under the tap to fill the water tank.

•The appliance must be used and placed on a stable surface.

•When placed on its stand, make sure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

•The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

•Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or if a fault is suspected.

•The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by pulling the cable.

•Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.

•Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain, sun, frost, etc.)

•With the aim of avoiding dangerous situations, any work or repair that the appliance may need, e.g. replacing a faulty mains cable, must only be carried out by qualified personnel from an Authorised Technical Service Centre.
