Electrical safety
• Before connecting this iron to a power socket, make sure the voltage stated on its rating label
corresponds to the voltage in your power socket.
• Connect the steam iron only to a properly grounded socket. If necessary, an extension cord marked
with a maximum electrical current capacity of 14 A may be used. A power cord with an insufficient
capacity could overheat. Do not connect any other appliances to the extension cord. Position the
extension cord so that it will not be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not touch the iron with wet or damp hands when it is connected to a power socket.
• To avoid potential injury by electrical shock, do not clean the iron under running water, do not
spray it with water and do not submerge it in water or any other liquid.
• Ensure that the power cord does not come into contact with water, moisture or a hot surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the power cord. Make sure the power cord does not hang over the
edge of a table or that it is not touching a hot surface or sharp objects.
• Disconnect the iron from the power socket by gently pulling the plug of the power cord, and not
the power cord itself. Otherwise, this could damage the power cord or the socket.
• Before disconnecting the iron from the el. power socket, set the output steam regulator to the
‚ironing without steam‘ position.
• Do not pull or carry the iron by the power cord.
• To avoid the danger of injury by electrical shock, do not repair the iron yourself or make any
adjustments to it. Have all repairs or adjustments performed at an authorised service centre.
By tampering with the product you risk voiding your legal rights arising from unsatisfactory
performance or quality warranty.
• Always turn off the iron and disconnect it from the power socket when you have finished using it.
