• The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped,
if it has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions
abnormally in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle your
appliance: have it examined at an Approved Service Centre to
avoid any danger.
• The iron should only be used with the base provided (for
cordless irons).
• Check the electrical power for sign of wear or damage prior
to use. If the electrical power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced at an Approved Service Centre to avoid any
danger.

Before first use
• When you first use the appliance, some smoke or a harmless odour may be produced or there may be a small discharge of
particles. This will not affect the use of the appliance and will disappear quickly.
What water to use?
• Your appliance has been designed to use tap water.
If your water is very hard (hardness above 30°F, or 17°dH or 21°e), mix 50% tap water and 50% bottled demineralised
water. Never use water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.), or condensation water (for
example water from tumble dryers, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioning units, rainwater). Do not use pure
distilled nor pure demineralised water. Such water contains organic waste materials or minerals that concentrate under the
effect of heat and cause spitting, brown colouring or premature ageing of your appliance.
