injury.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUAR DS

• Please read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations before using the
appliance.

• Before using for the first time, check if the voltage rating on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage in your home.

• Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.

• Before use for the first time remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate

and clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.

• When you have finished ironing, and also when leaving the iron even for a short
while:

o Set the steam control to off position
o Remove the power plug from the wall socket

• Take care that children cannot touch the iron while it is hot and that they cannot pull
the power cord.

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

• Unplug from the wall socket before filling the iron with water or pouring out the
remaining water after use.

• Do not unplug the iron by pulling on the power supply cord.

• Never immerse the iron in water.

• Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may

slightly smoke when switched on for the first time. If this (harmless) effect does
occur it will cease after a short while.

• Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents into water tank.

• Do not use chemically descaled water.

• The power cord should not be allowed to touch the soleplate when it is hot. Let iron

cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• Regularly check if the power cord is still in a good and safe condition.

• The ejected steam is hot and therefore hazardous. Never direct the steam towards

people.

• This appliance is not intended for use by young children.

• The user must not leave the iron unattended while it is connected to the power

supply.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

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 10amp cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amps may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that
it can not be pulled or tripped over.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• WARNING RISK OF BURNING: Please be aware that when the auto shut-off
function is activated the soleplate is still extremely hot and will need adequate time
to cool down. DO NOT TOUCH HOT SOLEPLATE!
