12- SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended
for domestic use only.
• Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems :
- A pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any excess steam.
- A thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.
• Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket.
• Always plug your steam generator into:
- An electrical installation with voltage between 220V and 240V. Connecting to the wrong voltage may
cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.
- An earthed socket. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (10A) with
an earth, and is fully extended.
• Should the reel and power cord mechanism or the boiler cord linking the iron to the base unit become
damaged, it must be replaced by an approved service centre to avoid the risk of danger or injury.
Be careful:
•
The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns : never touch
these parts.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
• Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical steam function
• Always keep the steam generator away from children.
• Never leave the appliance unattended :
- when it is connected,
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
• Always unplug your appliance :
- before filling the removable water tank or rinsing out the boiler,
- before cleaning your generator,
- after each use.
• Before unscrewing the boiler drain plug, wait until the generator is cold (unplugged for more than 2
hours).
• Never fill the boiler through the drain hole (except for rinsing)
• Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the water tap
• While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly under the tap.
• If the appliance falls, receives a violent blow or is not operating correctly, do not dismantle it : take it to
an Approved Service Centre, to avoid any danger.
• If you lose or damage the boiler drain plug, have it replaced by an Approved Service Centre.
