about 8 minutes if it's upright.
• It'll beep, and the power light will blink continuously till you move the iron.
• To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating
temperature.
• No settings are lost during auto shut-off.

X FILLING
3 You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should
use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
4 If you buy distilled water, check that it's marketed as suitable for use in irons.
5 Unplug the iron.
6 Set the temperature control to •, set the steam control to S.
7 Lift the top of the water inlet cover to open it.
8 Tilt the iron till the soleplate is at an angle of about 45°.
9 Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you'll cause an air lock
and the water will overflow.
