BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any labels from the soleplate before
heating the iron.
Before using the steam function in your iron for
the rst time, we recommend that you allow the
iron to operate a few moments in a horizontal
position without coming into contact with your
laundry. Keeping the iron in this position, push
the steam button several times.
During the rst few uses, the appliance may
produce smoke, a harmless odour and a light
emission of particles. These are simply the
engineering residues from the manufacturing
process burning off. These are harmless and will
quickly disappear.

bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water as these may
damage the iron. These types of water contain organic waste,
mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your
iron
