Using your steam iron
Filling the water tank
Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with
tap water. If you live in an area with hard water, fast scale
build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use
distilled or demineralized water to prolong the lifetime of
your appliance.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set steam setting to Dry.
3 Open the water tank lid.
4 Tilt the iron backwards and fill the water tank with tap
water up to the
max
imum level.
Note: Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication to
avoid spillage. If you have overfilled the water tank, empty it
until the water level drops below the MAX indication.
Warning: Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling
agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.
