WATER TANK FILLING
Unplug the iron before filling the water tank.
Hold the steam iron in horizontal position.
Slowly pour water through the water inlet.
Do not fill higher than mark on the water tank, in order to avoid water spilling.
NOTE: Your steam iron is designed to use tap water. However, if the water is very hard, it is advisable to use distilled
water.
The opening which is used for pouring water should be closed when the iron is in use.
Always unplug the iron from the power socket when refilling the water reservoir.
Do not use chemically de-limed or perfumed water.
If you have too hard water,it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water.
When re-filling the tank with water, always disconnect the iron from the mains
In the end, it is always necessary to completely remove the water from the reservoir and/ or set the variable steam
control mode to
avoid water leakage from holes.
NOTE: After draining water from the cooled iron, set it upright (on the heel) and turn on for 2 minutes at maximum heat,
then remove the iron from the mains.
