Important safety instructions
●
Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any fitted attachments
should be checked thoroughly for any
defects. If the appliance, for instance, has
been dropped onto a hard surface, it
must no longer be used: even invisible
damage may have adverse effects on its
operational safety.
●
Always place (and use) the appliance on
a flat, level and heat-resistant surface
during operation. Do not position the
appliance on or near hot surfaces or open
flames such as hot-plates or gas flames.
●
Great care is necessary when using any
appliance, especially near children. Do
not leave the appliance unattended while
connected. Always remove the plug from
the wall socket and place the iron back
on the iron rest on the steam generator.
●
When ironing is interrupted, the
appliance must be replaced onto the iron
rest on the steam generator.
●
The appliance operates at very high
temperatures. Do not touch any part of
the appliance except the handle. Burns
can occur from touching the hot parts of
the housing or the soleplate and from hot
water or steam. Do not allow steam to
escape in the direction of anyone nearby.
●
When operating the appliance, hold only
by the handle.
●
Do not attempt to iron or to smooth out
wrinkles or creases from clothes by using
the steam function while wearing them.
●
Do not fill the boiler with any liquids
other than water or descaling solution.
●
Caution: before opening the water
reservoir cap, always wait until the
appliance has sufficiently cooled down, as
the reservoir is under pressure.
●
Caution: The connecting hose may reach
high temperatures during operation.
●
Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord
round the appliance.
●
The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
●
Do not operate the appliance if excessive
strain has been put on the connecting
hose. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualified
