Before first use

Please read these instructions carefully. Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.

•Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend

that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen. Operate the Power zone trigger several times under the same conditions.

•There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

Preparation

What water to use?

•Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
