• This appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with
the information stated on its characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If it is
absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that
it is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows, the appliance
will be rendered inoperative. To restore normal operation the
appliance will have to be taken to an authorised Technical
Service Centre.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions,
phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations
can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a
power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . If
necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company
for the system impedance at the interface point.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or
if a fault is suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by
pulling 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 energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise
the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing
temperature.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature.
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray function
instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the
steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather
than 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 regulator
completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally
with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
