Preparation

Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape
and to avoid steam venting sideways.

What water may be used ?

• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.

• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The
types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can
cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from
clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or
air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be
used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

Filling the water tank

• Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.

• Grasp the handle of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it –

fig.4.

•

Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark

– fig.5.

• Replace it firmly in its housing, making sure it is fully into place – fig.6.

If your water is very hard
(check with your local
water authority) it is
possible to mix tap water
with store-bought distilled
or demineralised water in
the following proportions:
50% untreated tap water,
50% distilled or
demineralised water.
