Before first use
• Before using your iron with steam for the first time, we recommend
that you place and keep the iron in a horizontal position for a few
moments and press the burst of steam button several times away
from your fabric.
• During the first few uses, a harmless odor and smoke may be emitted
from the iron. This has no effect on the iron and will disappear quickly.
Please read these instructions
carefully and keep them for
future reference.
Remove and throw away the
plastic part that protects the cord
(A). Remove any labels, stickers or
hangtags from the body or
soleplate of the iron before
plugging it in.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source or if it has not cooled
down for approximately 1 hour.
• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner
of your ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its heel or the
iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.
• Any inappropriate use or use contrary to these instructions releases the brand from all responsibility
and renders the warranty invalid.
• Your iron has been designed to function with untreated tap water.
However, due to the natural minerals found in tap water, it is
recommended that you clean the iron once a month using the self
cleaning method on page 5.
•
Never use
any of the following water types as this may cause spitting,
brown staining or premature aging of your iron: 100% purified water
(bottled water), water from tumble dryers, scented water, softened
water, water from refrigerators, water from batteries, water from air
conditioners, distilled water, rain water, boiled or filtered water, etc.
• The integrated anti-scale system (depending on model) prolongs the
life of the iron and provides a better ironing quality by ensuring a
constant flow of steam.
What type of water should be used?
If you have very hard water, it
is recommended that you mix
tap water with purified
(bottled) water in the following
ratio:
- 50% tap water,
- 50% purified (bottled) water.
This will reduce the amount of
lime scale build-up in your iron
and reduce the amount of
times you will need to clean
your iron.
