Important recommendations Safety instructions

Please read these instructions carefully before first use. This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

For your safety, this appliance conforms to the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage, Electomagnetic Compatibility, Environmental Directives, as applicable...).

Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended for domestic use only.

Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:

-a pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any excess steam;

-a thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.

Always plug your steam generator into:

-an electrical installation with voltage between 230V and 240V.

-an earthed socket.

Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.

If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth, and is fully extended.

Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket.

If the electric power cord or the iron-unit is damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service Centre in order to prevent any danger.

Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance:

-before rinsing the anti-scale valve or before filling the water tank,

-before cleaning your generator,

-after each use.

The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. When you place the iron on the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable. For best results use a vented ironing board to prevent water spots on the clothes and to avoid steam venting sideways.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Never leave the appliance unattended:

-when it is connected to the mains,

-until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).

The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns: never touch these parts.

Never touch the electric cords with the soleplate of the iron.

Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns. Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical steam function. Never direct the steam towards persons or animals.

Before unscrewing the anti-scale valve cap, wait until the generator is cold (unplugged for more than 2 hours).

If you lose or damage the anti-scale valve cap, have it replaced by an approved Service Centre.

Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the water tap.

The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks or fails to function correctly. Never dismantle your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it inspected in an approved service centre.
