• Please read the instructions for use in conjunction with the
illustrations before using the appliance.
• Before using for the first time remove any sticker or protective
foil from the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
• Before using for the first time, check if the voltage rating on
the typeplate corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
• Use an earthed wall socket.
• Never use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains:
- before filling the iron with water or pouring out the remaining
water after use;

• When you have finished ironing and also when leaving the iron
even for a short while:

- stand the iron on its end;

• Do not put vinegar, starch, chemically descaled water or
descaling agents in the water reservoir.
