When water is already present in the steam
generator during regular use, heat up time to
reach the operating temperature will be faster.

The “refill water tank” indicator (3) will light when
the water tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water
in your district is very hard, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with
your local water supplier.
• The water tank can be filled at any time while
using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the
water tank and the boiler, do not put perfume,
vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives or any
other type of chemical product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforementioned products, will make the
guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please
always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially debb
signed recess on the appliance or somewhere
suitable alongside the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance without
the iron pad!.
• During it first use the iron may produce certain
vapours and odours, along with white particles
on the soleplate, this is normal and it will stop
after a few minutes
• While the steam release button is pressed, the
water tank may produce a pumping sound, this
is normal, indicating that water is being pumped
to the steam tank.
Setting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment
to determine the correct ironing temperature.

Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning
symbol labels, always starting with clothes that
have to be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made
of then begin ironing at a low temperature and
decide on the correct temperature by ironing a
small section not usually seen when worn
