The pieces of clothing after steam programme are easy to iron.
At the end of the steam cycles clothes come out with a residual humidity appropriate for ironing.
If clothes are not ironed immediately hang them until they are completely dry.
At the start, because of wide types of fabrics, apply small steam loads. You easily get the experience, which helps you to use the sufficient steam loads.

CAUTION!
Use only distilled or demineralized water. Always when the container
is empty the indicator is on and you cannot start the steam programmes.
For the first time you can use the water attached in the bottle. The condensed water is also applicable for steam system. The condensate water must be filtered e.g. with a coffee filter to remove small pieces of fluff. If you dry with standard and steam programmes, the water container for steam system fills automatically.
