[. . . ] To avoid the risk of electrocution you must not open the appliance yourself or change the mains cord. In the event of damage or doubt about its operation return the iron immediately to a registered service agent. The appliance can cause severe electric shocks if it is placed in water or any other liquid. The mains electrical cable and monotube must not be allowed to come into contact with hot surfaces. [. . . ] You can steam iron all materials, but some materials can be ironed without steam. To iron without steam, switch the iron on but don't turn on the steam generator button. To improve the quality of ironing and increase the effectiveness of your iron, steam iron the material first and then re-iron it without steam, in order to dry the material. Give 2 or 3 bursts of steam to eject water condensed in the tube, then test your iron on a piece of material. CAUTION: After adjusting the temp-erature it takes about 2 minutes for the new temperature to stabilize. In the case of dark silk you are advised to use a Teflon® soleplate, which can be purchased separately from your supplier. Q Steam iron about 10 cm from the With a sweeping movement from top to bottom lightly touch the material while giving short bursts of steam.

Velvet, Corduroy, Jersey If you are not using a Teflon® soleplate, steam iron 1 cm from the surface of the material, then smooth by hand. The Teflon® soleplate must be used for dark materials that are likely to become shiny and synthetic materials that might stick to the soleplate. Wait for about 1 minute for the soleplate to reach the same temperature as the iron. CAUTION: Contact with the Teflon soleplate can cause severe burns and damage nearby objects. A red indicator light illuminates when the water in the steam generator drops to the minimum level. The red water empty light illuminates to indicate that there is insufficient water in the steam generator to continue ironing. CAUTION: To avoid the risk of serious burns do not open the filling cap without following these instuctions: Depress the steam control button and hold it down until no more steam is emitted. Gently unscrew the refill cap a half turn (using a cloth to avoid direct contact with the steam) and wait until any residual steam has escaped. Even when it is hot, the iron, can be stored with the mains cord and the monotube in the storage box under the ironing board.
