• The earthing system and highly sensitive residual-current
circuit breaker, complete with magnetothermic cut-out for
your domestic system, guarantee safe use of electrical
appliances.
Therefore, for your own safety, check that the electrical
system to which the appliance is connected complies with
current laws.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains if the voltage does
not correspond with that of the domestic electrical circuit in
use.
• Do not overload sockets with adaptors and/or transformers.
Only connect the product to a single socket with current that
is compatible with the plug supplied.
• Electrical extension leads that are unsuitable for the power
rating or which are not compliant with law may overheat and
possibly lead to short circuiting, fire, power outage or
damage to the equipment. Only use extension leads which
are certified, suitable for the power rating, supporting 16A
and earthed.
• Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
• To remove the plug from the socket, do not pull the power
cable, but hold the plug itself to avoid damage to the plug
and the cable.
• Always unplug the appliance if it is not in use and before any
preparation, maintenance or cleaning operation.

the appliance to the mains and before use. Always use the
product with the cable and steam hose completely unwound.
• Do not pull or jerk the cable or the steam hose, or strain it
(twisting, crushing or stretching). Keep the cable and steam
hose away from hot and/or sharp surfaces and elements.
Avoid the cable and steam hose coming into contact with the
hot iron plate. Avoid crushing the cable and steam hose in
doors and windows. Do not pull the cable and steam hose
tight around corners. Avoid treading on the cable and steam
hose. Do not walk over the cable and steam hose. Do not
