Using your appliance

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.
Do not add perfume, 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 flashes. You
can refill the water tank at any time during use.
1 Remove the water tank from the appliance and fill it with tap water up to the
MAX indication.
Put the water tank back into the appliance by fitting the bottom part

into the appliance first.
