This is an electrical appliance and may cause electric shock. You should therefore respect the following safety warnings:

• Never touch the appliance with damp hands.
• Never use the appliance with bare or wet feet.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cable or the appliance itself.
• If the socket and power cable plug are incompatible, the socket should be changed for a suitable type by a qualified professional. Adapters, multiple sockets or extensions should not be used.
• To fill or top up with water, turn the ironing system off using the switch, then unplug from the mains. Never fill the appliance under running water.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains socket before filling the tank with water.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s Customer Services in order to avoid all risk.
• Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the appliance by unplugging from the mains.
• In the event of malfunction and/or faulty operation, switch off the appliance and take it to Customer Services.
• Before using the appliance, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed power supply and sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.

Important: When the water in the tank has run out, the pump becomes noisier. This is part of normal operation and is not a cause for concern. However, you are recommended to top up the water in the tank immediately. When the “no water” light comes on, you should top up the water in the tank as rapidly as possible. This will enable you to continue ironing after a short interruption. When the “no water” light comes on, you should not continue steam ironing with the pump vibrating. If this practice is continued, in the long run it could irreparably damage internal components. Symbols used in these instructions Important warnings are identified by these symbols. It is vital to respect these warnings.

Danger! Failure to observe the warning may result in life threatening injury by electric shock.

Important! Failure to observe the warning could result in injury or damage to the appliance.

Danger of burns! Never aim the steam at persons or animals. The user must never leave the iron unattended when plugged in. During use, the steam generator should not be moved. IMPORTANT: the tube connecting the iron and steam generator may become hot. All contact between the hot base and cables must be rigorously avoided. Use en

Attention! After removing the packaging, make sure the appliance is complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact qualified personnel only. Dispose of the plastic bag with care as it represents a hazard for children. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. NEVER mix the water in the tank with stain removers, additives or perfumed oils. This reduces the safety of the appliance and irreparably damages the steam generator which would have to be replaced. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped and there are visible signs of damage or leaks. If the ironing system is dropped causing visible damage to the appliance (steam generator or iron), do not use. Take to Customer Services. Designated use

• This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was expressly conceived. Any other use is considered improper and thus dangerous.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel. What water to use The appliance works with normal tap water. Important! In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Never use demineralised water on its own. NEVER rest the iron on the case of the appliance when the iron rest is removed. Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g. perfumed water, essences, descaling solution, etc). Use the removable iron rest on an ironing board. Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners etc.). NEVER use the iron rest on a table. The heat could ruin the surface of the table! Important! If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has a neutral pH. “Safe transport”: certain models are fitted with a locking system which locks the iron in position during transport. When the iron is locked in position, it must not be used as a carrying handle to transport the appliance! To position the iron correctly, insert the tip of the plate into the housing B, rest the iron in position and move the lock J to the locking position. To release the iron, move the lock J into the release position and remove the iron from its housing. While ironing, if the iron rest has not been removed from the appliance, you can rest the tip of the iron on the heat resistant base C above the housing B.
• The appliance must be used and rested on a stable heat resistant surface.
• When placing the iron on the iron rest, make sure the appliance is resting on a stable surface. NEVER store the iron in a vertical position!

Using the appliance for the first time

• The first time you use the appliance, the steam generator is empty. When filling the steam generator for the first time, it will take longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the steam generator and replaced by the water. During filling/heating it is normal for the pump to make a noise. The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than with subsequent fills.
• When used for the first time, the appliance may give off smoke and an odour for several minutes. This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam generator and iron. You are recommended to ventilate the room.
• - Each time the iron is used (including for the first time) or if you have not used steam for several minutes, press the steam delivery button a number of times away from the Rinsing the steam generator - Disposal en ironing board. This will eliminate condensation from the steam circuit. Disposal In compliance with European directive 2002/96/EC, the appliance must not be disposed of with household waste, but taken to an authorised waste separation and recycling centre. Rinsing the steam generator After every 10 ironing sessions, proceed as described on page 6. The appliance does not come on. The appliance is not plugged into a mains socket. Make sure the appliance is correctly connected and press the iron and steam generator buttons. Steam comes out of the bottom of the appliance The maximum pressure safety system has tripped. Turn the appliance off immediately and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services. Water leaks out from the holes in the bottom of the sole plate. The thermostat dial on the iron is not in the sector shown in fig. 7. Position the thermostat dial on the iron in the steam sector shown in fig. 7. Water has condensed inside the tubes because steam is being used for the first time, or has not been used for some time. Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board. This will eliminate cold water from the steam circuit. The ironing system is positioned on an unstable and/or sloping surface. Rest the ironing system on a stable flat surface. Brown coloured fluid leaks from the sole plate. Chemical water softeners or additives have been poured into the water tank or steam generator. Never pour products into the water tank (see our tips in the quick guide). Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. The first time the appliance is turned on, you notice smoke Some parts have been treated with sealer/lubricant which evaporates the first time the iron heats up. This is normal and will stop when you have used the iron a few times. The appliance emits an intermittent noise associated with vibrations. Water is being pumped into the steam generator. This is completely normal. The appliance emits a continuous noise associated with vibrations. Unplug the system from the mains and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services.
