Your steam generator is equipped with the Water Control function which keeps track of the
water level in the tank during ironing and warns you when it is almost empty.
The lights gradually switch off when the water level drops in the tank:
- full tank
: all lights are on
- tank half full : 3 lights are on
- tank almost empty
PREPARATION
1 • What water to use ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using
untreated tap water. However, it is necessary
to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in
order to eliminate hard water deposits from
the steam chamber.
If your water is very hard (check with your
local water authority) it is possible to mix tap
water with
demineralised
proportions : 50% untreated tap water, 50%
distilled or demineralised water.
Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates
the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below
may contain organic waster, mineral or
chemical elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining or premature wear of the
appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented
or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled,
filtered or bottled water.
These types of water should NOT be used in
your steam generator. Also only use distilled
or demineralised water as advised above.

type ironing board must be used to allow any
excess steam to escape and to avoid steam
venting sideways.
