INTRODUCTION
This appliance was developed for household use only

Before you begin using the appliance, it is
important that you thoroughly read these
instructions and carefully keep them for further

GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The safety features of your iron comply with the
technical specifications and regulations in force.
The mains voltage must match the voltage of
the iron (220-240 V). Any connection error
could cause irreversible damage to the appliance
and void its warranty.
• Use the appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
• This product is intended only for ironing of
clothing and household laundry.
• Only connect the appliance to a grounded
socket. When using an extension cord, make
sure that a grounded socket is available.
• Regularly check the condition of the power cable.
Do not use the steam function with no water
in the reservoir to prevent any damage to the
pump.
• Do not fill the water reservoir by holding the
appliance directly under the tap. Always use the
water measurer supplied with the appliance.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug from
the electrical socket before filling and emptying
the water reservoir and in any case after each
use.
• Disconnect the plug from the socket by holding
the plug and not by pulling the cable.
• Avoid any contact between the power cable and
the iron plate when hot.
• Do not wind the power cable around the plate
when hot. Use the special cable winder instead.
• Before storing the appliance, wait until it has
cooled down completely - a steam iron takes
about one hour to cool down. Use the handle to
store the appliance after use.
• Do not direct steam towards people or animals
and do not iron garments while worn.
• After use, store the appliance in a stable position
using the special pad supplied.
• Never add any perfume, vinegar, starch,
scale-removing agents, ironing products or
other chemicals in the water reservoir - unless
recommended by Hotpoint-Ariston. Never use
contaminated water.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not leave the appliance in the open air and
exposed to inclement weather conditions.
• Never leave or use the appliance over or close
to flames, ovens, flammable materials or other
sources of heat.
• Do not use the appliance for any use other than
its intended use.
• Should you suspect a failure, immediately unplug
it from the electrical socket.
• The manufacturer shall assume no responsibility
in case of damage resulting from any improper
use of the appliance.
• Use the supplied mat with compact generator,
and keep iron in a horizontal position.
BEFORE USE
Before using the Compact Generator for the first time,
remove all stickers, protective plastic or cardboard
packaging from the soleplate of the iron.
Make sure that all adhesive parts have been removed
from the soleplate using a damp soft cloth and remove
any residues or particles from the manufacturing
process by repeatedly filling and emptying the water
reservoir.
