INTRODUCTION:

To get the best out of your new steam iron, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your steam iron.

SAFETY MEASURES

•Incorrect use of the steam iron may cause personal injury and damage to the kettle.

•Use the steam iron for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).

•The steam iron may only be connected to 230 V, 50 Hz.

•The steam iron or cord must not be submerged in water or any other liquid.

•Never leave the steam iron unattended when in use and keep an eye on children.

•Allow the steam iron to cool down completely before putting it away. Always keep the steam iron out of the reach of children.

•Protect the solepate, and NEVER run it over metal or similar surfaces, as this will damage it.

•This steam iron is not suitable for commercial or outdoor use.

•Always keep the steam iron at a safe distance from combustible objects when in use.

•Never leave the steam iron in a place where the temperature might drop below freezing point.

•Do not cover the steam iron.

•Do not allow the cord to hang over the table edge, and keep it away from hot objects and naked flames.

•Check regularly that neither the cord nor plug is damaged and do not use the steam iron if it is, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.

•If the steam iron, cord or plug is damaged, it must be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the appliance yourself.

•Remove the plug from the socket after use, when cleaning, and when filling the water reservoir.

•Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.

•Make sure that it is not possible to pull or trip over the steam iron cord or any extension cord.

•Do not put more than 120 ml of water in the reservoir. Do not add anything to the water. Ordinary tap water can be used.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

•Remove the protective film from the soleplate (9).

•Some parts of the steam iron were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is entirely safe, and the smoke will disappear once the steam iron has been used a few times. Test it on a piece of material or similar before using it on clothes.
