Preparing the appliance
Unscrew the patented safety cap (7) (Fig.1) and fill the
boiler with not more than 1.1 litres of water, using the
filler funnel (U). Make sure that the water does not
overflow, and that space is left in the boiler for the steam
to form.
Normal tapwater can be used. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits
which in hard water areas can cause limescale build up
in the boiler. It is essential to swill it out with tapwater
every 3 or 4 uses.
Note:Never use distilled and scented water.
Filling the water reservoir
Filling the water filter container
Make sure the rubber gasket is present inside the safety
cap, then screw on the safety cap (7) to hand tight. Make
sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed
on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping around
the cap.
• Lift the dirt container handle (22) unhooking it from its
position (Fig. 2) and remove the container (20) (Fig. 3).
• Turn the container handle (22) as shown in figure 4,
so as to remove the “Eco Active- Filter” water filter
assembly (23).
• Fill the dirt container (20) with about 1,2 litres of tap
water until the MAX level indicator (21) is reached, as
in fig. 5.
• Put the filter assembly (23) back into place in the dirt
container (20) returning it to its initial position.
• Replace the dirt container into position.
• Support the handle (22) until it hooks into its place on
the dirt container (20).
