■ Make sure that the mains cord does not get pinched, kinked or laid over sharp edges
and does not come into contact with hot surfaces.
■ Never immerse the device, the mains cord and the mains plug in water or other liq-
uids and make sure that there is no risk of them falling in water or getting wet.
■ If the device falls in water or if it is infi ltrated by a liquid (this does not include the water
tank), immediately disconnect the power supply. Never attempt to pull the device out
of the water when it is connected to the mains supply! Before using the device again,
have it checked by a qualifi ed workshop.
■ Never touch the device, the mains cord and the mains plug with wet hands when
these components are connected to the mains supply.
■ Never go past the maximum level to prevent overfl owing. Use distilled water to fi ll

■ The steam must not be directed towards the mains cord or parts containing electrical
components (e.g. oven interiors, fridges, switches and lights, microwave ovens).
■ Turn the device off and pull the mains plug out of the socket
– if a fault occurs during operation,
– before it is cleaned or
– before a storm.

tance of 15 cm from walls, furniture and other objects.
Avoiding damage to materials, property and the device
■ Only iron on a stable, level, heat and moisture resistant base. We recommend using
a commercially-available ironing board.
■ Do not iron across zippers, rivets, buckles etc. to avoid scratches on the coating of
the soleplate.
■ Never iron on bases made of glass or plastic.

device from the power supply.
■ Never wind the mains cord around the device. Never pull or carry the device by the
