Hot surface.Surface is liable to get hot during use.• This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance withthe information stated on its characteristics plate.• This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If it isabsolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure thatit is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows, the appliancewill be rendered inoperative. To restore normal operation theappliance will have to be taken to an authorised TechnicalService Centre.• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions,phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuationscan happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to apower supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . Ifnecessary, the user can ask the public power supply companyfor the system impedance at the interface point.• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, orif a fault is suspected.• The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket bypulling the cable.• Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain,sun, frost, etc.).Tips to help you save energySteam production consumes the most energy. To help minimisethe energy used, follow the advice below:• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironingtemperature.• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironingtemperature.• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray functioninstead.• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce thesteam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics ratherthan the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them,set the tumble drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulatorcompletely.• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontallywith the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.Environmental CareThis iron has been designed according to ecological criteria,related to the sustainable development, analyzing its wholelifecycle - from material selection to its later reusing or recycling- evaluating the improvement possibilities, from a technical,economical and environmental point of view.Before throwing a used appliance away, you should make itnoticeably inoperable e.g. cut off the mains lead and be certainto dispose of it in accordance with current laws and regulations.Your retailer, town council or local council can give you detailedinformation about these.This appliance is labelled in accordance withEuropean Directive 2012/19/EU concerningused electrical and electronic appliances(waste electrical and electronic equipment -WEEE).The guideline determines the framework forthe return and recycling of used appliances as applicablethroughout the EU.Before using the Iron for the first timePlease carry out the following steps:1.

When the iron has reached the correct temperature, the pilotlamp (K) goes out. Set the steam regulator (C) to the maximumposition.5. Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press the shot of steambutton (A). Any residue should come out of the soleplate (F).It may smoke and smell – this is normal and will cease after ashort while.6.
