X FILLING

distilled water (not chemically descaled water).

11 Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
12 Place the iron on its soleplate.
13 Gently pull the cover out of the water inlet, and let it hang to the side.
14 Pour water from the jug into the water inlet.
15 Pour slowly, to allow the air in the reservoir to escape, and avoid an airlock.
16 Don't fill past the max mark on the reservoir, or water will escape in use.
17 Replace the cover in the water inlet.
18 Wipe up any spillage.
