This appliance is intended only for household use and ironing; it is not suitable for profes-sional use.

Initial use
Prior to initial use, fill twice and vaporize to remove the manufacturing residues. Meanwhile, use shock steam button (11) frequently.You can smell a mild odour or see white sediments coming out of the sole-plate holes. After performing vaporizing process twice, such odours and sediments will disappear. Also water droplets may form within the water reservoir; this is normal.
