IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

 

 

 

 

BEFORE FIRST USE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

Make sure the voltage used corresponds with the one indicated on the rating label.

Use the iron only for needed use as described in the instruction manual.

Close supervision is necessary when any appli- ance is used near children. Do not leave iron un- attended while connected or on an ironing board. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.

Keep the iron out of reach of children.

The iron should never be left unattended while it is connected to the mains supply.

Unplug the iron from the mains electrical sup- ply before:

1) Cleaning

2)Filling with water or emptying the water tank 3) Immediately after use

Never operate the iron with a damaged power cord or plug, or after it has fallen or been dam- aged in any way. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.

Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.

To protect against a risk of electric hazards, do not immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.

The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first time, this will quickly disap- pear.

When using the steam function for the first time, do not direct the steam towards the laun- dry, as there could be debris from the steam

vents.

FILLING WITH WATER

Make sure that both the Steam Control turn- ing Knob and Temperature Control Dial are in “OFF” position.

Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling inlet is in a horizontal position.

Fill with water through Water Filling Inlet until the water reach the “MAX” mark indicated on the side of the iron, and never fill above this mark.

SETTING TEMPERATURE

Follow the ironing instructions on the garment la- bel. If there is no instruction but you do know the kind of fabric, please consult the following table.
