10. 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 water tank.  
11. If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power  
supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service  
center.  
12. Deposit or Mineral in tap water will generate limescale and  
eventually block the steam holes, therefore it is advisable to use  
distilled water.  
13. When placing the iron on a stand, ensure that the surface on  
which the stand is placed is stable.  
14. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are  
visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.  
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS  
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high  
wattage appliance on the same circuit.  
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord  
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.  
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be  
pulled or tripped over.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliances is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider  
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit  
into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly  
fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a  
competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in  
any way.

using the beaker. Never exceed the MAX mark indicated in on  
the appliance.  
When ironing, unplug the appliance before refilling. Fill the water  
tank by holding the appliance in 45° angle position without  
putting down the hot soleplate, unless you have a heat-resistant  
base.

In case the cord is not pulled out easily, pull cord firmly.  
To rewind the cord, please hold the cord firmly in one hand while  
pressing and holding the “Cord Release” Button while guiding the  
cord into the storage area. Failure to hold the plug may cause  
plug to fly and hit you or objects/persons around you (See : Fig. 3)  
The cord reel is compact, to enable a multi-layer winding of the  
cord. In case the cord cannot fully rewind, pull out the cord and  
steer cord evenly on the reel.

will evaporate. When the soleplate has totally cooled down, you  
may store the iron away.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Clean the iron regularly according to the hardness of the water  
and the use frequency (see section : SELF CLEANING)  
Never use vinegar or other liquids to descale the iron internally.  
To clean the plastic parts of the iron, use a humid cloth.  
To clean the stainless steel soleplate, make sure you use a  
product made especially for this purpose. Never use abrasive  
products.  
Wipe off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive  
(liquid) cleaner.  
If the fiber adheres to the soleplate, use a damp cloth with  
vinegar to wipe off the soleplate.  
Never use strong acid or alkali in order to avoid damaging the  
soleplate.  
If limescale blocks the steam hole, please remove it with a  
toothpick; taking care not to damage the surface of the soleplate.
