GENERAL INFORMATION
This complete steam station consists of an iron with a separate steam generator. 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.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
- 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 temperature-control dial to 'min' before putting the plug in the
wall socket or removing the plug from the socket.
- Always take care when ironing 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.
1. Before using the iron 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.
3. The plug must be removed from 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.
5. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
6. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or
if it is leaking.
7. Remove all labels and stickers that may be attached to the iron. Some parts of the iron
are lightly greased, and it is possible that the iron will emit a little smoke when used for
the first time. This smoke will stop after a short period of time, and is not indicative of a
defect.
8. To remove residue from the soleplate, set the temperature control dial to'max', and iron
over a damp cloth.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR USE
- It is recommended that you fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 50% tap
water and 50% distilled water. This is particularly desirable in areas with hard
water, since this will prevent the formation of excessive limescale.
- Make sure the water reservoir is always filled, even if you do not plan to use the
steam function.
1. Make sure the appliance is not plugged in.
2. Use your thumb to press the reservoir lock downwards, and pull the reservoir forwards
with your fingers.
3. Fill the water reservoir with the indicated quantity of water (no higher than the 'max'
level).
4. Replace the water reservoir by positioning the base over the projection and then
clicking the top in place.
