BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all packagIng
• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
cuRe THe elemenT
• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a scrap
piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it’ll stop as the residues evaporate.
WaTeR
• Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.
• If the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, and you don’t have a replacement, you should use
distilled water while you’re waiting for the replacement to be delivered.
Don’t use chemically descaled water, or water from a water softener – softened water can
do more damage to your iron than hard water.
• If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.
• Don’t add anything to the water, and don’t use water with anything added to it.
• When the water is converted to steam, chemicals, perfume, and other additives will coat the
inside of the steam chamber, shortening the life of the iron.
FILLING
• Switch off before filling – press and release the iron switch and the boiler switch, then unplug
the iron.
• Remove the reservoir:
• Put the fingers of one hand into the grip under the front of the reservoir
• Press the catch on the top rear of the reservoir with the other hand
• Pull the reservoir out of the base unit
FIll THe ReSeRvoIR:
• One of the tubes in the rear of the reservoir has a MAX mark inside
• Pour water into the other tube
• Fill the reservoir up to the MAX mark (about 800ml)
• Don’t fill past MAX, or water may escape in use
Replace THe ReSeRvoIR:
• Slide the reservoir into the base unit
• Check that the catch on the reservoir clicks into place in the base unit
• Prime the iron before use (See "PRIMING")
