Note: Some particles may come out of the soleplate when you use the iron for
the first time. This is normal; the particles are harmless and will stop coming
out of the iron after a short while.
Note: When you switch the appliance on, the steam tank may produce a
pumping sound. This is normal; the sound tells you that water is being pumped
into the steam tank.
1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate and clean
the soleplate with a soft cloth.
 Check the hardness of the tap water with the test strip supplied.
y = soft water
u = moderately hard water
i = hard water

preparing for use

part of the ironing board or on a table.
Filling the detachable water tank
The water tank can be refilled at any time during use.
,
Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing
aids or other chemicals in the water tank.
Do not overfill the water tank, otherwise water may spill out of the
filling opening when you reinsert the water tank.
1 Remove the detachable water tank from the steam tank.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an
equal amount of distilled water.
 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication.
 Slide the water tank back into the steam tank ('click').
If the water tank is not properly placed, the iron does not produce any
steam.
Water tank refill light
When the water tank is almost empty, the message 'WATER LOW,
,
REFILL WATER TANK' is shown on the display and you will hear two
short beeps.
The water tank refill light starts blinking and steam ironing is no
,
longer possible.
Refill the water tank. The iron starts steaming again as soon as the
,
water tank has been properly reinserted into the steam tank.
