IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the iron.

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the

following:

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other

liquids.

3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical

outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead,

grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.

4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when ﬁlling with water or emptying and

when not in use.

6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contact our Consumer

Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can

cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not

leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when

you turn a steam iron upside down - there may be hot water in the reservoir.

9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the

same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used. Cords rated

for less amper may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot

be pulled or tripped over.

limited to such repair or replacement of the soleplate. This is a limited warranty and is in lieu of

all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability. This warranty gives you specific

legal rights. You may also have other legal rights varying from province to province, state to state.

5

Remove any labels from the soleplate before

heating the iron.

Before using the steam function in your iron for the

first time, we recommend that you allow the iron

to operate a few moments in a horizontal position

without coming into contact with your laundry.

Keeping the iron in this position, push the turbo

steam trigger several times.

During the first few uses, the appliance may produce

smoke, a harmless odour and a light emission of

particles. These are simply the engineering residues

from the manufacturing process burning off. These

are harmless and will quickly disappear.

BEFORE FIRST USE

PREPARATION

Which water should I use?

• Your appliance was designed to operate using

untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to

periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any

mineral deposits.

• Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled water,

water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water,

rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from

refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, additives

water, condensation water or rain water as these may

damage the iron. These types of water contain organic

waste, mineral elements that become concentrated

when heated and cause spitting, brown staining,

leaking or premature wear on your iron.

If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated

tap water with 50% distilled water (available in

hardware stores).

Filling the water tank

• Set the steam control to

• Lift the iron and, holding it at a slight incline, point the soleplate up.

rest or about 30 seconds laid flat or on its side, the electronic

system will cut the power, the iron will stop heating and the

auto-off indicator will begin to flash.

• To restart the iron, move it gently until the indicator stops

flashing.
