Warning!
Toavoiddamagingthepump,neveroperatetheappliancewithoutanywaterinthetank,evenfordryironing.Donot
addanyadditivesorchemicals(suchasforexample,amides,starches,perfumeorother);Otherwise,thewarranty
mayberevoked.
The possible presence of water, condensate or moisture in the tank indicates only that the appliance has been
tested.
Ifitprovesnecessarytoaddwaterwhileironing,alwaysturnofftheironandunplugthepowercordbeforellingthetank
withwater.
Switching on the appliance
Before you turn on the appliance, make sure there is sufcient water inside the tank.
It is possible that at the rst use of iron there are spills of white powder from the plate; this is normal and the effect
will disappear after delivering some steam blows.
At the rst use of the iron you may notice a delay in the formation of steam: this is normal and is due to water
entering into circulation in the iron. You may need to press the steam and spray button several times for their
proper operation.
Placetheapplianceonahorizontalandstablesurface.Puttheirononitsironrest(O)(Fig.7).
Plugintothemainssocket.Thetemperaturecontrollamp(H)turnson.
