Using the appliance
Filling the water tank
Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard water,
fast scale build-up may occur. In this case, it is recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water to
prolong the lifetime of your appliance.
Note: Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other
chemicals in the water tank.
1 Set the steam control to position t (dry ironing). (Fig. 2)
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).

1 Consult table 1 to set the temperature dial to the appropriate setting for your garment (Fig. 4).
2 Put the iron on its heel and plug it in. The temperature light goes on to indicate that the iron is
heating up (Fig. 5).
3 When the temperature light goes out, the iron has reached the correct temperature.
4 Consult table 1 to select a steam setting that corresponds to the temperature you have set (Fig. 6).
Note: To use turbo steam
, keep the steam control pressed to the turbo steam position continuously.
Caution: Do not set the steam control to a steam setting if the set temperature is below 2 or when
the iron is still heating up (when the temperature light is on). Otherwise water may leak from the iron.
