Safety advice and warnings
- Read these instructions carefully before switching
the appliance on and keep them for future consul-
tation. Failure to follow and observe these instruc-
tions may result in an accident.
- Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased,
so the iron may produce a little smoke when
plugged in for the first time. This will stop after a
short period of time.
- Before using the iron for the first time, remove the
plastic cover from the base and clean the base with
a soft cloth.
- Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the
iron set to steam. Preferably chose a high steam
setting and use a dry ironing cloth.
Use or working environment:
- Keep children and bystanders away when using
this appliance.
- The appliance must be used and placed on a flat,
stable surface.
Electrical safety:
- Fully unravel the power cable.
- Always unplug the iron when not in use, even for
a short period.
- Unplug the iron before filling or emptying the wa-
ter tank.
- Do not leave the appliance out in the rain or ex-
posed to moisture. If water gets into the appliance,
this will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not use the appliance if it has fallen on the
floor, if there are visible signs of damage or if it has
a leak.
- Do not use the appliance near bathtubs, showers
or swimming pools.
- Keep the appliance well away from heat sources,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tan-
gled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug is
damaged.
- Ensure that the voltage indicated on the name-
plate matches the mains voltage before plugging
in the appliance.
- Connect the appliance to a base with an earthed
socket rated at 16 amps.
- The appliance’s plug must fit into the mains
socket properly. Do not alter the plug. Do not use
plug adaptors.
- Do not use or store the appliance outdoors.
Steam blast:
Steam blasts give an extra steam jet to help remove
tough creases.
- Select the maximum temperature*** on the tem-
perature gauge (H). Wait for the pilot light to go off
(I).
- Press the steam blast button (B). Wait some
seconds until vapour penetrates the fibres before
pushing the button again. For optimum steam qual-
ity, do not apply more than three successive blasts.
The spray button has to be pressed repeatedly to
release the first spray.
Once you have finished using the appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the ther-
mostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and al-
low to cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few
drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for
cleaning the appliance.
- Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or put it under running water.
Self-cleaning function:
- It is important to self-clean the appliance at least
once a month to remove calcium and any other
built-up minerals inside the iron.
