Do not touch! 10 INSTRUCTIONS STEAM IRONING Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing. In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using 50% demineralised water and 50% tap water. Never use chemical substances or detergents (eg perfumed water, essences, descaling solutions, etc) or mineral water. Filling the tank and connecting to the mains Make sure the power cable is unplugged from the mains socket. 7 Position the thermostat regulation knob (3) in the area indicated in the figure according to the type of fabric to be ironed (fig. [. . . ] If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. [. . . ]
