INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new steam station, please read through these
instructions carefully before using it for the first time. We also recommend
that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind
yourself of the functions of the steam station.
SAFETY MEASURES

children when the steam station is in use.

this will damage it.

Positioning the steam station
•
The steam station must be positioned on a firm level surface.
•
Always place the steam station at a safe distance from flammable
objects such as curtains, tablecloths or similar.
•
Never leave the steam station in a place where the temperature might
drop below freezing point.
•
Do not cover the steam station.
•
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter, and keep it
away from hot objects and naked flames.
Cord, plug and mains socket
•
Check regularly that the cord is not damaged and do not use the steam
station if it is, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
•
If the steam station, cord or plug is damaged, the steam station must
be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair
engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair
the appliance yourself.
•
Remove the plug from the socket after use, when cleaning, and when
filling the water reservoir.
•
Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead,
hold the plug.
•
Make sure that it is not possible to pull or trip over the steam station
cable or any extension cord.
Water reservoir
•
Contact with hot metal, hot water or steam can result in burns.
Therefore you must be very careful if you turn the steam station upside
down. There could be hot water in the reservoir.
•
Do not put more than 1,2 litre of water in the reservoir. Do not add
anything to the water.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE
•
Check that all stickers and labels have been removed from the
soleplate.
•
Some parts of the iron were oiled during manufacture and these will
therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is entirely safe,
and the smoke will disappear once the iron has been used a few times.

•
Remove the plug from the socket.

Press the release button (11), and pull the water reservoir (7) free of the
power supply (9).
•
Lift the water reservoir lid (8), and fill with water (max. 1,2 litre).
