•Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source or if it has not cooled down for approximately 1 hour.

•Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner of your ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.

•Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its heel or the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.

•Any inappropriate use or use contrary to these instructions releases the brand from all responsibility and renders the warranty invalid.

Before first use

•Before using your iron with steam for the first time, we recommend that you place and keep the iron in a horizontal position for a few moments and press the burst of steam button several times away from your fabric.

•During the first few uses, a harmless odor and smoke may be emitted from the iron. This has no effect on the iron and will disappear quickly.

Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

Remove and throw away the plastic part that protects the cord

(A). Remove any labels, stickers or hangtags from the body or soleplate of the iron before plugging it in.

If you have very hard water, it is recommended that you mix tap water with purified (bottled) water in the following ratio:

-50% tap water,

-50% purified (bottled) water. This will reduce the amount of lime scale build-up in your iron and reduce the amount of times you will need to clean your iron.

What type of water should be used?

•Your iron has been designed to function with untreated tap water. However, due to the natural minerals found in tap water, it is recommended that you clean the iron once a month using the self cleaning method on page 5.

•Never use any of the following water types as this may cause spitting, brown staining or premature aging of your iron: 100% purified water (bottled water), water from tumble dryers, scented water, softened water, water from refrigerators, water from batteries, water from air conditioners, distilled water, rain water, boiled or filtered water, etc.

•The integrated anti-scale system (depending on model) prolongs the life of the iron and provides a better ironing quality by ensuring a constant flow of steam.
