Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or
other chemicals in the water tank.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 3).
3 Open the cap of the filling opening.
4 Tilt the iron backwards and use the filling cup to fill the water tank
with tap water up to the maximum level. (Fig. 4)
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
5 Close the cap of the filling opening ('click').

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial
to the appropriate position (Fig. 5).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 for silk
- 2 for wool
- 3 for cotton and linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not
visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic fibres.
