Preparation

What water may be used ? 

This appliance has been designed to be used with untreated tap water.
Types of water not to use: In order to maintain your appliance life, you should not use water from clothes dryers,
scented or softened water or water with additives, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water,
boiled, filtered or bottled water. 
All the types of water listed above may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining or premature wear of the appliance. 
If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water
available in hardware stores.
Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water. 
Do not fill the water tank from the cartridge compartment. 

Filling the water tank

• Place your iron on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heatproof and waterproof.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear

of the cord.

• We recommend that you use a  mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better

ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.

• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the refill inlet cover on the front of the water tank.
• Fill the water tank with untreated tap water until the max level.
• Close the water tank refill inlet cover. 

• Do not fill the water tank from the cartridge compartment. 
• 

This appliance is designed to be used with a cartridge.
