3Luk dækslet til vandtanken op.

4Hold strygejernet lidt på skrå og fyld vandtanken op til MAX-markeringen (fig. 3).

Hvis vandet i dit område er meget hårdt, anbefales det at bruge destilleret vand. Brug aldrig kemisk afkalket vand.

Fyld aldrig vandtanken til op over MAX-mærket.

Kom aldrig parfume, eddike, stivelse, afkalkningsmiddel, strygemiddel eller andre kemikalier i vandtanken.

5Luk dækslet til vandtanken (“klik”).

Temperaturindstilling

,Første gang strygejernet tages i brug, kan der komme lidt røgudvikling. Dette varer dog kun et øjeblik.

1Stil strygejernet på “hælen” og drej temperaturvælgeren til den ønskede strygetemperatur (fig. 4).

- Se den rette strygetemperatur på tøjets vaskemærke.

-	1	Syntetiske materialer (f.eks. akryl, viskose, polyamid, polyester)
-	1	Silke
-	2	Uld
-	3 Bomuld, hør, linned

- Er du i tvivl om, hvilket materiale et stykke tøj er fremstillet af, må du finde den rette strygetemperatur ved at prøve dig frem et sted, som ikke er synligt, når du har tøjet på.

-Silke, uld og syntetiske materialer: Stryges på vrangen for at undgå blanke skjolder. Undlad brug af spray-funktionen for at undgå skjolder/stænk.

2Sæt netstikket i en stikkontakt med jordforbindelse.

3Når temperaturindikatoren er slukket, skal du vente et øjeblik, inden strygningen påbegyndes.

Bemærk:Temperaturindikatoren tænder fra tid til anden under strygningen.
