Preparing for use
Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale
build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prolong the lifetime of the
appliance.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids,
chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your
appliance.
Filling the water tank
Fill the water tank before every use or when the water level in the water tank drops below the minimum level. You can
rell the water tank at any time during use.
1 Open the water tank lling door (Fig. 3).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 4).
3 Close the water tank lling door ('click').
Water tank empty light (specic types only)
When the water tank is almost empty, the 'iron ready' light starts to ash (Fig. 5).
Fill the water tank and press the steam trigger to let the appliance heat up again. When the 'iron ready' light lights up
continuously, you can continue steam ironing.
