with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water
supplier.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the boiler, do not use
perfumed water, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives or any
other type of chemical product.
Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products,

stop after a few minutes
Setting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to determine the
correct ironing temperature.
2. Select the temperature (11):
•
••
•••
3. The indicator lamp (13) will remain lit while the iron is heating and go
out as soon as the iron has reached the selected temperature.
Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol labels,
always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest
temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made of then begin ironing at
a low temperature and decide on the correct temperature by ironing
a small section not usually seen when worn

steam release button (12) only for a few seconds at a time when
ironing at lower temperatures.
In both cases, if you find that water is dripping out of the soleplate, set
the temperature selector (11) to a higher position (take care that the
garment can be ironed on this heat temperature setting).
