• Always plug your steam generator:

- Into an earthed electrical outlet.
Any connection error may cause irreversible damage and invalidates the guarantee. If you use an extension cord,
ensure that it is in good condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the
appliance.
Important notice for ≥ 2800W models only :
Under unfavorable conditions, phenomena such as transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations may occur.
Therefore it is recommended to plug the iron into a power supply with a maximum impedance of 0,30 Ω. If
necessary, the user can contact the electricity supplier for further information about the system impedance at the
interface point.
• Fully unwind the electrical cord and plug it into an earthed electrical outlet.
• Do not leave the power or water connection cords close to or in contact with sources of heat or sharp edges.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and can
cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and
premature wear of the water connection cord.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting
sideways. Be careful of hot steam when ironing close to the edges of the board.
• Your appliance produces steam which may cause burns.
- Handle the iron carefully, especially when ironing vertically.

replaced the anti calc cartridge or after filling the water tank, press the steam control button
continuously for few minutes pointing it away from your linen, in order to prime the pump and obtain
steam.
• When in use, your electric pump injects water into the iron solepate. It makes a noise but this is normal.
