Using your appliance
Filling the water tank
Fill the water tank before every use and when the ‘water tank empty’ light flashes.
Do not add perfume, 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.
1Remove the water tank from the appliance and fill it with tap water up to the MAX indication.
Tip:Your appliance has been designed for use with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard water, scale builds up quickly. In this case it is recommended to use distilled water to prolong the life of your appliance.
2Put the water tank back into the appliance by sliding in the bottom part first.Then push the top part until it locks into place.
’Water tank empty’ light
When the water tank is almost empty, the ‘water tank empty’ light goes on. 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.
OptimalTempTechnology
The Optimal Temp Technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature setting.
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable.These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolefins
(e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments.

Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.
Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts. Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards.Turn over and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp finish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and faster ironing.
Cleaning and maintenance
To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the appliance regularly.
1Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.To remove stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washing-up liquid.
2To easily and effectively remove stains from the soleplate, switch on the appliance and let it heat up.When the appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth while you press the steam trigger.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.
