PROBLEMS
AND POSSIBLE CAUSES
• Fabric fibres have built up
and become charred in the soleplate
holes or between the iron's casing
and the soleplate.
The soleplate is dirty or brown and
may stain your ironing.
• The temperature setting is too high.
• Your ironing is not rinsed sufficiently or
you are using starch.
The soleplate is scratched
or damaged.
• You have placed your iron face down
on a metal iron rest.
SOLUTIONS
Clean the soleplate with a damp
non-metal pad. Vacuum the soleplate
holes from time to time.
Use the auto-cleaning function.
Clean the soleplate. See the section on
adjusting the temperature.
Clean the soleplate. Spray the starch on
the underside of the surface to be ironed.
Always place your iron on its base.
8 - FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Caution! the voltage of your electrical installation must match that of your
iron (220-240V). Incorrect connection may cause irreparable damage to
the iron and render the guarantee null and void.
• This iron must be plugged into an earth socket. If your are using an
extension lead, ensure that it is the bipolar type (13 A) with an earth
conductor.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by an
Approved Service Centre to avoid danger.
• The base and the connection block must only be used with the iron that
accompanies them. Never use them with other equipment or for a diffe-
rent purpose.
• Do not immerse the iron or its base in water !
• Set the iron to Cordless and always remove it from its base before filling
or emptying the tank.
• If the iron is dropped, have it examined by a professional before turning
it back on: invisible damage may cause a safety hazard.
• The iron's soleplate may be very hot:
- never touch it.
- always leave your iron to cool down before storing it.
- never leave your iron unattended when it is connected to the mains or
while the soleplate is still hot.
- never leave the iron within the reach of children.
Never dismantle your iron: always take it to an Approved Service
Centre.
