IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your appliance, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or

injury:

1. Use the iron only for its intended use.

2. Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the
appliance.

3. To protect against electrical shock do NOT immerse cord, plugs,
or iron in water or other liquid.

4. The temperature dial and steam knob always be turned to 0/MIN
before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank the
cord to disconnect form the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.

5. Unwind the power cord completely before using.

6. Do not allow the cord to touch the hot surfaces. Let the iron cool
down completely before putting away. Rewind the cord
completely when storing.

7. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling
with water or emptying and when not in use.

8. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To
avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron, take
it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is
used.

9. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or
near children. Children should NOT play with this appliance. 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
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or
steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down –
there may be hot water in the water tank.

11. If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power
supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service
center.

12. Deposit or Mineral in tap water will generate limescale and
eventually block the steam holes, therefore it is advisable to use
distilled water.

13. When placing the iron on a stand, ensure that the surface on
which the stand is placed is stable.

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

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliances is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit
into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly
fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a
competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way.

CAUTION BEFORE FIRST USE

• The iron has been greased, and as a result, the iron may slightly
smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this
will cease.

• Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil
from the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.

• Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal
objects (such as clothes rack, button and slide fastener).

FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Use preferably demineralized water.

• Turn the temperature dial to "MIN" and the variable steam dial to

the "0" setting.

• To fill the water tank, open the lid of the filling opening and pour
water through the fill opening, the iron put at an angle of 45°,
using the beaker. Never exceed the MAX mark indicated in on
the appliance.

• When ironing, unplug the appliance before refilling. Fill the water
tank by holding the appliance in 45° angle position without
putting down the hot soleplate, unless you have a heat-resistant
base.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

• You can choose the temperature setting in function of the
material of cloth to iron.

• In order to turn the iron to the desired temperature, please turn the
temperature knob clockwise into the required position (see table

• Plug the appliance in the socket.

• Turn the variable steam dial (steam regulator) on position 0.

• Before running the iron, please classify the clothes as per their

label, as it will be quicker for the iron to heat up than to cool, the
clothes (such as synthetic fabric, silk etc) with lower ironing
temperature shall be ironed first, and then iron the clothes (such
as wool, cotton and linen etc) compatible with higher
temperature settings

• Put the iron on its end, and turn the thermostat dial to the MIN
