Water Tank (13)

• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that
it can be removed.
• The "MAX" mark is placed on the water tank. Do not fill
the tank above this mark. The tank volume is 1.0 litre.
• Slide the tank back into the base and press it firmly into

Water

NOTE:
We recommend using the appliance with distilled water
only. When using tap water the appliance needs descaling.
Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and
water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener
or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.
This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the
steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.

Operation

Before Initial Use

• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
