Preparing for use
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.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, 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 level in the water tank drops below the
minimum level. You can refill the water tank at any time during use.
1 Press the lever in the water tank handle and remove the water tank from the base (Fig. 2).
2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).
3 Push the water tank back into the appliance until it locks in place ('click').
