of, it is suggested that the power chord is cut off. It
is also recommended that all potentially dangerous
components are rendered harmless to prevent children
hurting themselves when playing with the apparatus.
Danger due to electricity
• Do not leave the iron and the power cord within the
reach of children under the age of 8 years if the iron is
connected to the outlet or while it is cooling.
• Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,
ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate
matches the local voltage supply.
• Always connect the iron to an earthed socket.
• DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR
OTHER LIQUIDS.
• Do not start ironing if your hands are wet or if you are
barefoot.
Danger of damage originating from other causes
• Fill up the tank with water before starting up the
appliance. Be sure to unplug the appliance before
pouring water into the tank.
• Turn on the appliance only when it is in working
position.
• The appliance may give out a little smoke when used
for the first time; this transitory effect is perfectly normal
and is due to the fact that some of components have
been slightly lubricated.
• During use, rest the appliance onto a horizontal
surface.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is
connected to the power supply.
• The appliance must be used and rested on a stable
surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the
surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
• Before leaving the iron unattended, even for a short
time, turn off the appliance, always unplug it and place
it on support base (E).
• Water might get out from the steam holes if the steam
button is pressed before the appliance has reached the
best temperature or that the iron is hot.
