SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Please read these instructions carefully
before first use. This product has been
designed for domestic use only. Any
commercial use, inappropriate use or
failure to comply with the instructions,
the manufacturer accepts no responsibility
and the guarantee will not apply.
For your safety, this appliance conforms
to the applicable standards and
regulations (Low Voltage, Electomagnetic
Compatibility, Environmental Directives,
as applicable...).
Your steam generator is an electrical
appliance: it must be used in normal
conditions of use.
It 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.
Always plug in your steam generator:
- An electrical installation with voltage
between 220V and 240V.
- 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.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may
cause irreparable damage to the
appliance and will invalidate your
guarantee.
Unwind the electrical power cord
completely before plugging it in to a
mains socket with an earth pin.
Should the power cord or the boiler cord
linking the iron to the base unit become
damaged, it must be replaced by a
ROWENTA approved service centre to
avoid the risk of danger or injury.
Do not unplug the appliance by pulling
on the cord. Always unplug your appliance:
- before filling the water tank or rinsing
the collector;
- before cleaning your generator,
- after each use.
The appliance must be used and placed
on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work
surface.
When you place the iron on the iron rest,
make sure that the surface on which you
place it is stable.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Before unscrewing the boiler rinse plug,
wait until the generator is cold.
Never leave the appliance unattended:
- when it is connected to the mains,
-
until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
The soleplate and generator iron-rest
can become very hot and cause burns:
never touch these parts. Never touch the
electric cords with the soleplate of the
iron.
Your appliance gives off steam which
can cause burns.
Handle your iron carefully, particularly
when using the vertical steam function.
Be careful when ironing near to the edge
of the ironing board as steam can vent
sideways.
Never direct the steam towards persons
or animals.
Always wait before rinsing the collector
until the steam generator has cooled
down and has been unplugged for at
least 2 hours before unscrewing the
collector.
If you lose or damage the collector, have
it replaced by an Approved Service
Centre.
Do not immerse your steam generator in
water or any other liquid. Do not rinse it
under a running tap.
The appliance must not be used if it has
fallen to the floor, shows evidence of
damage, leaks or fails to function correctly.
Never dismantle your appliance. To avoid
any danger, have it inspected in a
ROWENTA approved service centre.
