PREPARATION
Which water should I use?
• Your appliance was designed to operate using untreated tap water.
However, it is necessary to periodically clean the steam chamber to
remove any mineral deposits.
• Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled water, water from
clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, filtered,
bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries or
air conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water as these may
damage the iron. These types of water contain organic waste,
mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your
iron
If your water is very hard (above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e)
mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled water
(available in hardware stores).
Filling the water tank
• Unplug the iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to
• Lift the iron and, holding it at a slight incline, point the soleplate up.
• Open the water tank cover.
• Fill the water tank to the mark "MAX".
