temperatures when functioning, which may cause 

burns. Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance 

(accessible metal parts and plastic parts adjacent to 

the metallic parts).

•   Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected 

to the mains. Before storing the appliance, once it is 

unplugged, please wait until it has cooled down (around 

1 hour).

•  The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, 

if it has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions 

abnormally in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle your 

appliance: have it examined at an Approved Service Centre 

to avoid any danger.

•  The iron should only be used with the base provided (for 

cordless irons).

•  Check the electrical power for sign of wear or damage prior 

to use. If the electrical power cord is damaged, it must 

be replaced at an Approved Service Centre to avoid any 

danger.

•  The iron must always be placed on its base and never on its heel (for cordless irons) 

.

•  Your iron and its base must be used and placed on a stable surface. When you place the iron on its base, ensure that the surface 

on which the base is placed is stable.

•  For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility, 

Environment, etc).

• Your steam iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for domestic use only.

• Always plug your steam iron:

  - into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V,

  - into an earthed electrical socket.

   Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee. If you are 

using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth, and is fully extended.

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

•  The soleplate of your iron can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the 

electrical power cords with the soleplate of the iron.

•  Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing vertically. Never 

direct the steam towards people or animals.

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

•  The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water. 

Before first use

When you first use the iron, some smoke or a harmless odour may be produced or there may be a small discharge of particles. This 

will not affect the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

What water to use?

Your iron has been designed to use tap water. However, the self-clean function must be performed regularly on the steam chamber 

to remove limescale.

If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% bottled demineralised water.

Never use water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.), or condensation water (for example 

water from tumble dryers, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioning units, rainwater). This water contains organic 

waste materials or minerals that concentrate under the effect of heat and cause spitting, brown colouring or premature ageing 

of your appliance.
