Preparing for use
Filling the detachable water tank
Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing
aids or other chemicals in the water tank.
Fill the water tank before use and as soon as the ‘water tank empty’
light flashes.
1
Remove the detachable water tank from the steam generator and
fill the water tank with tap water.
Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live
in an area with very hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. In this case, it is
recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water to prolong the
life of your appliance.
2
Slide the water tank back into the steam generator (‘click’).
’Water tank empty’ light
When the water tank is almost empty, the ‘water tank empty’ light goes
on and steam ironing is no longer possible. Fill the water tank to continue
steam ironing.
