Intended use
The appliance must be used only for ironing
garments which are suitable for ironing according to
the care label. In addition the appliance can be used
for refreshing. Never iron or dampen garments
while wearing them.
Before fi rst use
Take the unit out of the carton. Remove all pieces of
the packing. Remove any possibly extant labels on
the unit (do not remove the rating plate).
When steam is ready for the fi rst time we
recommend to iron for a few minutes over a rag
to avoid manufacturing residues can dirty your
garments.
(A) Filling the water tank
• Make sure that the appliance is switched off and
the system is unplugged.
• Remove the water tank (6).
• Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care
not to exceed the "max" level but at least up
to the mark "min" otherwise the appliance will
not be ready to start steam ironing. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend that
you use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 %
distilled water.
