BEFORE USE
Before using the iron for the rst 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llingandemptyingthewater
reservoir.
When you switch on the iron for the rst
time, you may notice an unpleasant smell, a
little smoke and some impurities. They will
disappear in a few minutes. When using the steam
function for the rst time, do not direct the steam
jet on the garments because manufacturing
residues may be present in the steam dispenser.
Never add any perfume, vinegar, starch,
scale-removing agents, ironing products or
other chemicals in the water reservoir - unless
recommended by Hotpoint. Never use
contaminated water or coming from driers,
accumulators or air conditioners.

correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or
the colour that is embossed in words on the base of
the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from
your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable throu-
gh partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-
reable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
• the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp
cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in complian-
ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without
moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be acciden-
tally inserted into a socket.
