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 connection, and is fully
extended. Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and
premature wear of the water connection cord.

• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket outlet.
• Do not leave the power or water connection cords close to or in contact with sources of heat or sharp edges.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit and cartridge cap can reach extremely high

temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate
of the iron.

• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting

sideways. Be careful of hot steam when ironing close to the edges of the board. Never iron in a seated position with
your legs under the ironing board.

• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing

vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.

• Never immerse your appliance in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.

• The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. If you

use the appliance for the first time, if you have replaced the anti calc cartridge or after filling the water
tank, press the steam control button continuously for few minutes pointing it away from your linen, in
order to prime the pump and obtain steam.

• When in use, the electric pump injects water into the iron solepate. It makes a noise but this is normal.
• Safety instructions Anti calc cartridge:
