PREPARATION
What water to use ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evapo-
ration. The types of water listed below may contain organic waster, mineral or chemical ele-
ments that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from
clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners,
rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. These types of water should NOT be used in your
MOULINEX steam generator. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised below.
If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority) it is possible to
mix tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following
proportions : 50% untreated tap water, 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Ironing Boards
Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess
steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.

Filling the boiler

• Place your steam generator on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and cold.
• Unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water untreated tap. Fill the boiler, taking care
that the water does not spill over fig.1. If this occurs, remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight.
If this occurs, remove the excess water.
Starting the generator
• Unwind the electric cord completely and take the steam cord out of its housing.
• Plug your generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on and the boiler heats up.
• After approximately 6 minutes the steam is ready.
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this
is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
