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

Carefully read through the instructions for use of the appliance and safeguard them for future reference

This appliance complies with international safety standards

General safety instructions

•Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before using the iron

•The appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with the information stated on the rating plate. This appliance must only be plugged into an earthed mains socket

•The iron must be used and placed on a stable surface

•When placed on its support, make sure that the surface on which the support stands is stable

•Do not use the iron if it has been dropped, shows visible signs of damage or if it is leaking water. It will have to be checked by an Authorised Technical Service centre before it can be used again

•The electrical plug on the mains cable must be unplugged from the mains socket before filling or emptying the water tank

•Do not leave the iron unattended while it is plugged in. Should you have to leave the area where you are ironing, unplug the iron from the mains socket

•Never plug the appliance into the mains supply if the cable or the appliance itself show visible signs of damage. Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use or if a fault is suspected

•Any works or repairs 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 center

•Never immerse the iron in water or any other liquid

•Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Electric irons reach high temperatures and produce hot steam during use, so take special care not to burn or scald yourself

•Danger of electric shocks or fire

•The iron has a built in safety cut-out device which switches it off should it malfunction

•Never leave a hot iron standing on textiles or on the mains cable. Make sure it is completely cold before storing it away. Do not unplug it by tugging on the mains cable or leave the plug hanging freely

•We accept no responsibility for any damage caused as a result of misuse or improper use resulting from not following the instructions in this manual

•When using the iron for the first time it may produce certain vapors and odours that will die away after a few minutes

•The use of an extension cable suitable for a current greater than 10 amps is essential if your appliance is rated at 2.400 Watts or more. Cables for 10

amps or less may overheat. Lay the mains cable so that it is impossible to tug or trip on it.

Filling the water tank

•Unplug the iron

•Place the iron at an angle of 45º

•Fill the tank but never above the “max” mark

•Only use clean tap water, without any type of additive. Any other type of liquid could damage the appliance

•To obtain better and longer steam production mix tap water with distilled water in the measures shown in the table below. Using distilled water as recommended in these instructions will also help to prolong the life of your iron if you live in a hard water area

Water hardness level	Amount of distilled water / tap water
Very soft / soft	0	/ 1
Average	0	/ 1
Hard	1	/ 1 (approx.)

•If you are not sure what type of material the garment is made from, start ironing on the lowest temperature setting

•Sort your garments based on their care labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest temperature

•The pilot lamp will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go out once the selected temperature has been reached. Wait a few seconds after the lamp goes out before you start ironing. Once the iron is hot you can continue to iron even if the pilot lamp comes on again
