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.

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use or when the ‘water tank empty’ light ashes. You can rell the

water tank at any time during use.

1 Remove the water tank from the appliance (Fig. 2) and ll it with water up to the MAX indication

(Fig. 3).

2 Put the water tank back into the appliance by tting the bottom part into the appliance rst.

3 Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place (‘click’) (Fig. 4).

Water tank empty light

When the water tank is almost empty, the ‘water tank empty’ light ashes (Fig. 5). Fill the water tank

and press the steam trigger to let the appliance heat up again. When the ‘iron ready’ light lights up

continuously, you can continue steam ironing.
