FILLING
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). If you buy distilled water, check that it's suitable for use in irons.
1.
Unplug the iron.
2.
Hold the iron with the front raised.
3.
Open the water inlet cover.
4.
Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you'll cause an air lock and the water will
overflow.
5.
Don't fill past the max marking or water will escape in use.
6.
Wipe up any spillage.
USING
The temperature of your iron is safe to use on all ironable fabrics and garments.

bursts of steam.
1.
Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
2.
Set the steam control to S.
3.
The light will slowly pulse on and off as your iron heats up. When your iron is ready to use, the light
will stay on.
Steam Ironing
