Preparation

What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However,
it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate
hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
• Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.), or water
produced by condensation (e.g. water from tumble-driers, refrigerators, air
conditioners, rain water). The types of water contain organic waste or mineral
elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the
appliance.
Do not exceed the tank's
MAX marking. Do not fill
your iron directly under the
tap. Do not remove the anti-
calc valve to fill the tank.
Use

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that require a low heat, then finish with those that need higher
temperatures.
• If you lower the thermostat, wait for the light to come back on before starting to iron again.
• If you are ironing a fabric comprising a mixture of fibres: adjust the temperature
Before using for the first time
• Before using your iron for the first time in the steaming position, we
recommend that you let it function for a few moments in the horizontal
position and away from your clothes. Press the turbo steam button several
times in this position.
• On first use you may notice a small amount of smoke and odour or a small
discharge of particles. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to
• Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.
• Open the tank cover – fig.2.
• Fill the tank to the "MAX" marking – fig.3.
