Preparing for use
Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale
build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water (50% demineralized/distilled
water mixed with water could be used as well) to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids,
chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your
appliance.
Getting the product ready
Fill the water tank before every use or when the 'low water alert' light flashes. You can refill the water tank at any time
during use.
1
Remove the water tank from the appliance and fill it with water up to the MAX indication.
2 Put the water tank back into the appliance by fitting the bottom part into the appliance first.
3 Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place ('click').
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off button to switch on the steam generator. Wait until
the 'iron ready' light lights up continuously. Once your appliance is ready, you will also hear a short beep.
Note: For first time use, we recommend you to place the iron on the ironing board before you turn on the appliance
for optimum performance.
There will be sound from the base of your product due to the water being pumped for steam generation.
