[. . . ] Do not touch any part of the appliance except the handle. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts of the housing or the soleplate and from hot water or steam. When operating the steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby. [. . . ] The temperature level for steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob. 9 Filling with water Fill the water reservoir before using the steam function or the spray nozzle. Remove the plug from the wall socket before filling the reservoir. - This steam iron is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH). Although normal tap water may be used, it is advisable to use distilled, demineralised or decalcified water. Should you be unsure about the hardness of the water in your area, please enquire of the relevant local authority department. — To prevent water from dripping from the sole plate, ensure that the steam control button is closed. It should be opened only once the temperature level required for steam ironing (as indicated on the temperature control knob) has been reached. - Open the cover of the water fill hole. - Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill the reservoir to the indicated “Max” level - After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket. - Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols. - During the heating-up process the indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached. — Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate. — The steam output can be adjusted with the steam control button or completely switched off for dry ironing. — For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings. — Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Steam Jet When the steam jet button is depressed, an additional hot steam jet is emitted from the soleplate. This function can be very useful when the regular amount of steam emitted is not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics. Using the Spray Nozzle The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button. [. . . ] — To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the steam iron in upright position on its base stand. Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points. - Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
