Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed
power supply and sockets with a minimum cur­rent rating of 10 A only.

• If the socket and power cable plug are incom­patible, the socket should be changed by a qua­lified professional only.

• The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only
if correctly connected to a proper and effective
earth connection as specified by current electri­cal safety standards and regulations. The manu­facturer cannot be considered responsible for
damage caused by the absence of an earth con­nection on the power supply line. If in doubt,
consult a qualified professional.

• Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged
in.

• Never leave the appliance filled with water in a
room where it will be subject to a temperature
below or equal to 0°C.

• After removing the packing, make sure the
appliance is not damaged. If in doubt, do not
use the appliance and contact a qualified pro­fessional.

• Do not leave packaging (plastic bags, polysty­rene foam, etc) within reach of children as it
could be dangerous.

• Adapters, multiple sockets and/or extensions
should not be used.
If their use is necessary, only adapters, multiple
sockets and extensions complying with current
safety standards and regulations should be
used, taking care not to exceed the power limit
indicated on the adapter.

• This appliance is intended for household use
only. Any other use is considered improper and
thus dangerous.

•Noises could occur when the steam generator is

heating up or cooling down. This is due to nor­mal expansion of the metal it is made from.

• The manufacturer is not liable for damage cau­sed by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible
use or for damage resulting from repairs carried
out by unqualified personnel.

• If the tank door is damaged, replace it with an
original spare part.

•To repair or if the power cable is damaged and
requires replacement, contact an authorised
Customer Service Centre in order to avoid com­promising the efficiency of your appliance and
guarantee the validity of the guarantee.
For the same reasons, you are always recom­mended to use original spare parts.

• Use the iron rest provided ONLY. If it is dama­ged, use an original replacement only.

• IMPORTANT!!
In the case of malfunction, steam is discharged
through a safety valve on the bottom of the
control unit. You will hear a loud whistling noise

caused by opening of the valve. You should
immediately turn the appliance off, unplug and
contact an authorised service centre. Do not use
the ironing system for dry ironing without the
steam generator!!

GB

• In the event of malfunction or faulty operation,
switch off and do not attempt to repair. For all
repairs contact a Customer Service Centre
appointed by the manufacturer only and ask for
original spare parts. Failure to respect the
above could reduce the safety of the appliance.

•When the appliance is to be discarded, after
unplugging from the mains, the cable should be
cut to make the appliance unusable.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be repla­ced by the manufacturer or an authorised tech­nical service centre in order to avoid all risk.

•To add water, use the switch to turn the ironing
system off then unplug from the mains. Never fill
the appliance under running water.

• All contact between the hot base and cables
must be rigorously avoided.

• If the safety thermistor is activated, the applian­ce switches off automatically. Before re-use, it
must be serviced by a qualified professional.

USEFUL TIPS

• The original appearance and softness of fabrics
such as velvet or wool, or gloves, bags etc. can
be restored by passing the iron a short distance
away with the steam jet in operation (vertical
ironing programme).

• To remove the marks left by furniture and resto­re carpets to new, allow the steam to penetrate
into the flattened pile and brush lightly.

• Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings
etc to avoid scratching the sole plate.

• Keep the surface of the sole plate clean. To
clean, wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth.
