Fill the water tank with clean water, and then empty the water to ensure the tank is clean of
any manufacturing residues. Refill the tank.

The iron may give off an odour and small amount of vapour when switched on for the first
time. This is normal and will stop as the element cures.

Press the burst of steam trigger 3 or 4 times, to prime and flush clean water through the burst
of steam pump.

Press the cool spray mist button 3 or 4 times, to prime and flush clean water through the

FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, however if you live in a hard water area, you should use
distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in irons.
• Unplug the iron from the wall power outlet.
• Lift the top of the water inlet cover.
• Hold the iron with the water inlet cover vertical.
• Fill slowly, to let the air in the water tank escape, otherwise
you will cause an air lock and the water may overflow.
• Do not fill past 'MAX', or water may spill whilst in use.
• Wipe up any spillage.
