The iron is equipped with a steam button to give a shot of steam, and a temperature-control dial to set the temperature to the required level.

Read and follow these instructions carefully . Keep this manual for future reference.

Make sure that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the type plate on the appliance.

Always turn the temperatur e-control dial to ‘min’ before putting the plug in the wall socket or removing the plug from the socket.

Always take care when ir oning in the vicinity of children. Never leave an iron unattended when it is switched on, even when the iron is standing on an ironing board. - Touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam can cause burns. Take care when touching hot parts of the steam generator and iron.

Before using the ir on 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. The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

The plug must be removed fr om the sock-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.

4. Never operate the iron with damaged power cord or plug, or after it has fallen or been

damaged in any way. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.

To r emove residue from the soleplate, set the temperature control dial to‘max’, and iron over a damp cloth.

It is recommended that you fill the water r eservoir with a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water.
