IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
•
When using the steam function for the first
time, do not direct the steam towards the
laundry, as there could be debris from the
steam vents.
When using your iron, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
•
Make sure the voltage used corresponds with
that indicated on the rating label.
Use the iron only as described in this instruc-
tion manual.
Filling with water:

Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used near children. Do not leave iron unat-
tended while plugged in or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam.
•
•
Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling
inlet is in a horizontal position.

Pour water through the water filling inlet until
the water reaches the “MAX” mark indicated
on the side of the iron, and never fill above
this mark.
