FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not
chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it's suitable for use in irons.
1. Unplug the iron.
2. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
3. Open the cover.
4. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you'll cause an air lock and the water will
overflow.
5. Don't fill past max, or water will escape in use.
6. Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCH ON
1. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
2. Sit the iron on its heel.
3. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the mark. The light will come on.
5. When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the light will go off. It'll then cycle on and off as the
thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
