IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICES

•Warning – HOT SURFACES! The iron plate gets very hot during ironing, and the steam released is extremely heated. Handle the device only by the grip (2).

•When filling the water holder, unplug the device from the mains.

•Even if interrupting ironing for a short period of time, power the device off and unplug it from the mains.

•After using the device, let it fully cool down in a vertical position, in a safe location, out of the reach of children, prior to storing.

PRIOR TO START WORKING

•Discard all packaging materials.

•Clean up the iron plate (see cap. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE).

•When using for the first time, soft scents or smokes may occur. This situation is not of big concern and stops after a little while. Take care of full ventilation capabilities.

•Push downwards the sealing of the water filling hole (12).

•Fill in the pipe water through the water filling hole (12) till it reaches the mark MAX (9) of the water holder (6). If water hardness exceeds 17 dH, use exclusively distilled water. Ask your supplier about the water hardness. Never use chemically unhardened water!

•Push the sealing of the water filling hole upwards (12) .

•Plug the cord (5) in the appropriate mains and place the temperature control rotating knob (7) to

the MAX. The red (4) and the green (3) control lamps are lighted up. When the red (4) control light goes off, push the steam release button (1) and start ironing over an old rag. If all the steam vanishes, the device is ready to use.
