Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

1 Flip open the water tank lid, then fill the water tank up to the
MAX indication.
Type of water to be used
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live
in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is
recommended to use distilled or de-mineralized water to prolong the
lifetime of the appliance.
Note: Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or
other chemicals in the water tank, as your appliance is not designed to work
with these chemicals.
Heating up
1 Insert the plug into an earthed wall socket. The SmartLight starts
flashing blue to indicate that the iron is heating up.
2 The SmartLight lights up blue steadily when the iron is ready for use.
Note: If the colour of the SmartLight is amber instead of blue, this is a
reminder that you should perform Calc-Clean function. See chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance, section 'Using the Calc-Clean function'.
