[. . . ] Manufacturer or the manufacturer’s Customer Services in order to avoid all risk. Switch off the appliance and take it to Customer Services. Before using the appliance, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed power supply and sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A only. [. . . ] Any other use is considered improper and thus dangerous. Propriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel. What water to use The appliance works with normal tap water. In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Never use demineralised water on its own. Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners etc. If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has a neutral pH. Using the appliance for the first time 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. During filling/heating it is normal for the pump to make a noise. The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than with subsequent fills. This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam generator and iron. You are recommended to ventilate the room. If you have not used steam for several minutes, press the steam delivery button a number of times away from the NEVER use the iron rest on a table. The heat could ruin the surface of the table!€œSafe transport”: certain models are fitted with a locking system which locks the iron in position during transport. When the iron is locked in position, it must not be used as a carrying handle to transport the appliance!To position the iron correctly, insert the tip of the plate into the housing B, rest the iron in position and move the lock J to the locking position. To release the iron, move the lock J into the release position and remove the iron from its housing. While ironing, if the iron rest has not been removed from the appliance, you can rest the tip of the iron on the heat resistant base C above the housing B. The appliance must be used and rested on a stable heat resistant surface. This will eliminate condensation from the steam circuit. [. . . ] Turn the appliance off immediately and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services. Position the thermostat dial on the iron in the steam sector shown in fig. Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board. This will eliminate cold water from the steam circuit. [. . . ]
