piece of damp cloth for several minutes to
remove any residues from the base.
NOTES:
- It is normal for there to be a strange odor
coming from the appliance the rst me
you use it. This odor disappears aer a
short me.
- It is possible that some parcles come
out of the base when using the iron for the

harmless and will stop coming from the iron
shortly.
- When plugging in the appliance, the iron

capacity of the water tank is 1.1 liters and
the water level must not exceed the “MAX”
mark.
Replace the water tank correctly on the
base of the generator.

stand.

device turns on.
Turn the temperature knob to the desired
seng, which depends on the fabric of the
garment; the temperature indicator lights
up and the iron starts to heat up.
