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.
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 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 (Fig. 2).
2
Put the water tank back into the appliance by fitting the bottom part into the appliance first (Fig. 3).
3
Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place ('click').
'Water tank empty' light
When the water tank is almost empty, the 'water tank empty' light flashes. 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.
