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
(50% demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) 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 tank empty’ light ashes. You can rell the water
tank at any time during use.
1 Remove the water tank from the appliance and ll it with water up to the MAX indication.
2 Put the water tank back into the appliance by tting the bottom part into the appliance rst.
3 Push in the top part of the water tank until it locks into place (‘click’).
