Designated use • This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was expressly conceived. €¢ The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel.

Using the appliance for the first time • The first time you use the appliance, the steam generator is empty. When filling the steam generator for the first time, it will take longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the steam generator and replaced by the water. The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than with subsequent fills. €¢ When used for the first time, the appliance may give off smoke and an odour for several minutes. [. . . ] Chemical water softeners or additives have been poured into the water tank or steam generator. Some parts have been treated with sealer/lubricant which evaporates the first time the iron heats up.
