STEAM IRON
Danger of Electrocution!
• The mains voltage at the mains socket must
match that shown on the rating plate on the
device.
Basic Safety Instructions
• If the connection lead or device does not work
perfectly or is damaged, have it examined and
repaired immediately at the service centre.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified
technician or by our Customer Service Depart-
ment to avoid the risk of injury.
• Only pull on the power plug and never on the
cord.
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power cord. Ar-
range it in such a way that it can not come into
contact with hot surfaces and such that no-one
can step on it or trip over it.
Risk of Burning!
• Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when
the iron is hot.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sen-
sorial or mental cabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Never hold your hand over the steam spray or
on hot metal parts.
• Always remove the power plug from the power
socket after every use and when cleaning or
filling.
• You may not open the filler opening of the water
reservoir while the iron is in use. Allow the steam
iron to cool down first and remove the power
plug from the power socket.
• Always unroll the power cord fully before swit-
ching on and do not use an extension cord.
• Never touch the cord or the power plug with
wet hands.
• Under no circumstances should you submerge
the steam iron in any liquid or let any liquid into
the device casing of the steam iron. You should
never expose the appliance to moisture or use
the device outside. Should any liquid get into the
appliance casing, remove the power plug imme-
diately from the power socket and have the ap-
pliance repaired by qualified technicians.
• Never use the steam iron near water in the
bathtub, shower, wash basin or other vessels.
Nearby water presents a danger, even when
the appliance is switched off.
• You may never open the steam iron casing.
Have the defect steam iron repaired by qualified
technicians.
• Discontinue using the iron if it has fallen down,
shows signs of visible damage or leaks water.
Fire Hazard!
• Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is
hot or switched on.
• Only ever store the steam iron away once it has
cooled down.
• Only ever iron with the temperature settings instruc-
ted by the care instructions for the material. You
could otherwise cause damage to the material.
If you do not know the care instructions, start with
the lowest temperature setting.
• Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when
the iron is hot.
• Never let children use the steam iron.
• Place this iron only on a stable and heat resistant
surface.
• Use this iron only on a stable and heat resistant
surface, for example, on an ironing board.

Should the mains water at your locality be rated as
hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the
steam blast function could calcify (become blocked)
prematurely.
