Important Safety Recommendations

Please read these instructions carefully before first use. This appliance is designed for domestic and indoor use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use, or failure to comply with the instructions means the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

Always unplug your appliance:

• Before filling the water tank.
• Before cleaning the appliance.
• After each use.

The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or persons lacking knowledge or experience, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by children without supervision.

Keep the iron and its cords out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when in use or cooling down.

The surfaces of your appliance can reach very high temperatures, which may cause burns. Do not touch hot surfaces (accessible metal parts and plastic parts adjacent to metallic parts) until the appliance is completely cool.

Never leave the appliance unattended when connected to the mains. Before storing, once unplugged, wait until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).

Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped, has visible damage, leaks, or functions abnormally. Do not attempt to dismantle; have it examined at an Approved Service Centre.

Check the electrical power cord and water connection cord for wear or damage before use. If damaged, they must be replaced by an Approved Service Centre.

Take care when using the appliance due to steam emission. Never direct steam towards people or animals.

For filling, cleaning, and descaling, refer to the instruction for use.

Your appliance conforms to applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environment, etc.).

Always plug your appliance into a mains circuit with voltage between 220V and 240V, and into an earthed electrical socket. Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage and invalidate your guarantee. If using an extension lead, ensure it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth and fully extended.

Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.

The soleplate can reach extremely high temperatures and cause burns; do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power and water connection cords with the soleplate.

Never immerse your appliance in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.

Unplug the appliance before filling the water reservoir.

Be careful when assembling and adjusting the board to avoid fingers being caught in mechanisms.

Use of accessory attachments not provided by the manufacturer is not recommended and may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

Before First Use

On first use, fumes, odour, or small particles may come from the appliance. These are part of the production process, do not affect use, and disappear quickly.

The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the stand is stable.

What Kind of Water to Use?

Your iron is designed to use tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water.

IMPORTANT: Never use your appliance board with a classic iron or a steam generator. Only use your appliance iron.

IMPORTANT: Do not use pure demineralised or distilled water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries, or air conditioners, as these may damage the appliance. These types of water contain organic waste or mineral elements that concentrate when heated, causing spitting, brown staining, leaking, or premature wear. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled water.
