The iron must always be placed on its base and never on its heel (for cordless irons) .
Your iron and its base must be used and placed on a stable surface. When you place the iron on its base,
ensure that the surface on which the base is placed is stable.
For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic

Your steam iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for
domestic use only.
Always plug your steam iron:
– into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V,
– into an earthed electrical socket.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your
guarantee. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth, and is
fully extended.
Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.
The soleplate of your iron can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them.
Never touch the electrical power cords with the soleplate of the iron.
Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing
vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating the iron.
Before using the steam function in your iron for the first 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 first 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.
PREPARATION
Which water should I use?
Your appliance was designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to periodically
clean the steam chamber to remove any mineral deposits.
Do not use pure demineralized or pure distilled water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain
water, filtered, 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
If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled water (available in hardware
stores).
