power supply unattended.
• Do not put the steam iron into storage until it has cooled down completely.
• This steam iron must be used and placed on a stable surface.
• When ironing, only use the temperatures detailed in the garment care instructions,
or those suitable for the material. Otherwise, you could damage the textiles.
