You may hear a sound when you remove the cap. This sound is caused by the vacuum or residual
pressure inside the steam tank and is perfectly normal.
 Pour water into the steam tank (max. 800ml) (Fig. 7).
Use tap water to fill the tank.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to use 50% distilled water and 50% tap
water.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the steam
tank.
 Screw the steam tank cap tightly onto the filling opening of the steam tank.

Fast refill

If the steam tank becomes empty during ironing, follow the procedure below to quickly refill the
steam tank.
1 Keep the appliance plugged into the mains and make sure the on/off switch is set to 'I' (Fig. 8).
 Press the steam trigger until you no longer hear any steam escaping from the
appliance (Fig. 9).
 To depressurise the steam tank, keep the steam trigger pressed in and slowly unscrew the
steam tank cap anticlockwise.
Place a piece of cloth over the cap when you unscrew it. Make sure there is no steam left in the
steam tank.
 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and wait approximately 15 minutes for the
appliance to cool down.
5 Fill the steam tank as described in section 'Filling the steam tank' and let the appliance heat
up again.

Setting the temperature

Always place the steam tank on a stable, level and horizontal surface. Do not put the steam tank
on the soft part of the ironing board.
1 Put the iron on the iron stand.
Do not put the hot iron on the supply hose or the mains cord. Make sure the cord does not
come into contact with the hot soleplate.
 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate
position (Fig. 10).
