What water to use

The appliance works with normal tap water.

Important!

In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest
using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Never
use demineralised water on its own.

Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g.

perfumed water, essences, descaling solution, etc.).

Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as
rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners
etc.).

Filling the reservoir

Make sure the cable is unplugged from the mains socket. Re­lease the reservoir (g. 1) and remove;

• Release the reservoir (g. 1) and remove;

• Fill the reservoir, taking care not to exceed the MAX level
marked on the reservoir (g. 2);

• Reinsert the reservoir fully (g. 3);

• Models with cable wind button: extract the cable as
far as the yellow mark (g. 4). The cable must be extract­ed when the appliance is plugged into the mains power
supply.

• Models without cable wind button: extract the cable
completely (g. 4).

• Plug the appliance into a mains socket.

Please note:

The rst time you use the appliance, the steam generator is
empty.
When lling the steam generator for the rst time, it will take
longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the steam
generator and replaced by the water.
During lling/heating it is normal for the pump to make a noise.
The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than
with subsequent lls.

STEAM mode and the light on the button and the light on
the iron come on. The light ashes on the control
panel.

ready to use.

• To deliver steam, press the steam button B2 (g. 6).
