Chapter 2: Preparation for Use
Due to the powerful output of steam, Hoover recommends the use of an active
ironing board with blowing and vacuuming function which allows escape of any
excess steam.
Place the ironing system on a stable and level surface, for example on the hard part
of an ironing board or on a heat-resistant surface.
Chapter 2.1 - What Kind of Water May be Used?
The Hoover ironing system has been designed to be used with tap water only. There
is no need to use distilled or pure distilled water. Nevertheless, in case you live in a
hard water area, you can mix 50% of distilled water with 50% of tap water. Do not
use any other kind of water or do not add any contents to the removable water tank
as it can damage your appliance.
Chapter 2.2 - Filling the Water Tank
Open the water tank ller cover (4) to gain access to the water tank. Fill it with tap
water with the help of a bottle. Do not exceed the max mark.
Fig. 8: Water Tank Filling
Warning: Do not add vinegar, hot water, perfume, or any other kind of chemical
agents or any other contents in the water tank. It could damage the steam
generator and shorten its life use.
