1 Before using the iron for the first time,
verify that the mains voltage stated on
the base of the steam generator is the
same as your mains voltage.
2 Remove all labels and stickers that may
be attached to the iron.
Some parts of the iron are lightly greased,
and it is possible that the iron will emit a
little smoke when used for the first time.
This smoke will stop after a short period of
time, and is not indicative of a defect.
3 To remove residue from the soleplate,
set the temperature control dial to
'max', and iron over a damp cloth.
Preparing the appliance for use
• It is recommended that you fill the
water reservoir with a mixture of 50%
tap water and 50% distilled water. This
is particularly desirable in areas with
hard water, since this will prevent the
formation of excessive limescale.
• Make sure the water reservoir is
always filled, even if you do not plan
to use the steam function.
1 Place the appliance on a flat sturdy
surface.
2 Make sure the appliance is not plugged
in.
3 Remove the water reservoir cap (No.4)
from the top of the water reservoir.
4 Fill the water reservoir with the
indicated quantity of water.
5 Put the water reservoir cap (No.4) back
on the water reservoir and close it
tightly.
Use
• Never iron over zips, rivets in jeans,
etc. These will damage the soleplate.
Iron around any such objects.
• The steam generator's holder for the
iron will become hot. Do not touch it
whilst you are ironing.
• Never point the soleplate at persons
during use, steam is very hot.
• Check whether ironing-instruction
labels are attached to clothing. Always
observe any such instructions.
• The filling aperture of the water
reservoir must not be opened during
use.
• Make sure that the appliance can not
fall when you place the iron on the
holder.
