15 • SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Your ironing centre is an electrical appliance: It should only be used for its intended purpose, and
under normal conditions. It is designed for domestic use only.
It is fitted with two safety systems: a safety valve that releases any excess steam in the event of a
malfunction and a thermal fuse to prevent overheating.
• Check that your mains supply is the same voltage as shown on the appliance's rating plate.
• This appliance complies with EU regulations 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
•
Completely
remove the power cord from its housing before plugging it into an earthed socket.
• Always plug your ironing centre into:
- An electrical installation with a voltage between 220 V and 240 V AC. Connecting to the wrong
voltage may cause irreparable damage and will invalidate your guarantee.
- An earthed power socket. If you are using an extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated
(minimum 13A) with an earth, and is fully extended.
• Never use the steam generator separately from the board.
• Should the electric power cord or the iron's steam cord become damaged, it must be replaced by a
Rowenta Approved Service Centre to avoid the risk of injury.
Caution:
• Your iron's soleplate and the rest-plate can become very hot and cause burns. Take care not to touch
them while hot.
• Your appliance releases steam, which can cause burns.
• Handle your iron with care, particularly when using the vertical steam function.
• Never direct steam toward people or animals.
• Take care to ensure that you do not come into contact with electrical cords with the hot iron soleplate.
• Keep your ironing station out of the reach of children.
• Never leave the appliance unattended:
- while it is plugged into a power socket;
- until it has cooled down (approximately 1 hour after use).
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord.
• Always unplug your appliance:
- Before rinsing out the boiler,
- Before cleaning it,
- After each use.
• Never leave the iron in its storage compartment with the ironing centre's power cord plugged in and
the main switch is lit.
• Before unscrewing the boiler drain plug, always wait until the steam generator is cold (unplugged for
at least 2 hours).
• Never fill the boiler through the drain hole, except when rinsing it.
• Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under a running tap.
• If the appliance falls, receives a violent blow or is not operating correctly, do not dismantle it; have it
examined at a Rowenta Approved Service Centre in order to prevent any danger.
• If you lose or damage the boiler drain plug, have it replaced at a Rowenta Approved Service Centre.
• Always place the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest-plate, never resting on its heel.
