ity after manufacture, it is possible that drop-
lets of water remain in the water tank

♦
Insert the plug
into a properly installed and
grounded wall socket.

Then iron over a piece of scrap fabric to remove
any production residues that may remain on the
ironing sole

amount of smoke and odour may result from
production-related residues. This is normal and
is completely harmless. Ensure sufficient venti-
lation; for example, by opening a window.

If the mains water in your location is rated as hard,
we recommend that you mix the mains water with
some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the
steam blast function could become blocked with
limescale prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains
water with distilled water according to the table.
Ask your local water utility about the water hard-
ness in your area.
