Filling with water
(for steam-ironing and spraying)
• Please fill this iron with normal tap water before using for the first time.
• For refilling, you can also use tapwater. However, if the water is very
hard (hardness higher than 17 °DH / 21
1
⁄
4
°Clarke), it is advisable to
use distilled water.
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before filling the iron.
Set the steam control to position O (= no steam).
- Stand the iron on its end and pour water into the filling aperture (fig. 2).
Use the measuring beaker with spout for this purpose.
Do not fill higher than marking "MAX" on the water reservoir.
(Maximum filling = approx. 200 ml.)
