Danger

- Never immerse the iron or the steam tank in water.

Warning

- Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the local mains voltage before

you connect the appliance.

- Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord, the supply hose or the appliance itself

shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been dropped or leaks.

- If the mains cord or the supply hose is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service

centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

- Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains.

- 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.

- Do not let the mains cord and supply hose come into contact with the hot soleplate of the iron.

- If steam escapes from under the steam tank cap when the appliance heats up, switch off the

appliance and tighten the steam tank cap. If steam continues to escape when the appliance heats

up, switch off the appliance and contact a service centre authorised by Philips.

- Do not remove the steam tank cap from the steam tank when the steam tank is still under pressure.

- Do not use any other cap on the steam tank than the cap that has been supplied with the

appliance, as the steam tank cap also functions as a safety valve.
