FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, however if you live in a hard water area, you should use
distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in irons.
•
Unplug the iron from the wall power outlet.
•
Lift the cover of the water inlet to open it.
•
Hold the iron with the soleplate horizontal.
•
Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you will
cause an air lock and the water may overflow.
•
Do not fill past
‘max’
, or water may spill whilst in use.
•
Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCHING ON
•
Sit the iron on its heel.
•
Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
•
Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the marker. The light will
come on.
•
When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the light will go out. It’ll then cycle on and
off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
