Safety Instructions

Important: Read all instructions carefully before use. Ensure your local power supply matches the voltage specified on the iron's rating label (230V/16A). Always use a grounded power outlet.

• Keep the iron and its power cord out of reach of children under 8 years old, especially when the device is hot or cooling down.
• Children aged 8 and above may use the iron under adult supervision or if they have been instructed on safe usage and understand the associated risks.
• Never leave the iron unattended while connected to the power supply.
• Do not use the iron if it has been dropped, shows visible signs of damage, or is leaking.
• Do not immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.
• Avoid using extension cords unless approved by a competent authority.
• Do not add perfumes, vinegar, or other chemical substances to the water tank, as these can damage the internal components.

Operation and Usage

Before connecting the iron to the power supply, ensure the cord is fully unwound. When taking breaks during ironing, always place the iron in an upright vertical position. After finishing your ironing session, disconnect the iron from the power outlet and empty the water tank completely. Do not pull on the power cord to disconnect the plug.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity of your appliance. Always clean the iron after every use. For safety reasons, it is recommended to fit or remove accessories only when the iron is completely cold. Remove the textile protector after each use to allow the interior to dry out completely. Do not attempt to open the casing or dismantle the iron, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Troubleshooting and Disposal

If the iron malfunctions, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact an authorized Gorenje service center. This appliance is marked in accordance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). At the end of its service life, do not dispose of the iron with regular household waste; take it to an authorized recycling center to help preserve the environment.
