Filling with water (for steam-ironing and spraying)
• Use tap water the first time you fill the iron.
• After the first time, you can still use tap water. However, if the water is
very hard (harder than 17° DH / 21° Clarke), it is advisable to use
demineralised or distilled water, which can be obtained from e.g.
chemists.
• Unplug the iron before filling it. Set the steam control (B) to position O
(= no steam).
• Open the lid of the filling opening (fig. 2).
• Fill the filling jug (M) with water (max. 240 ml). Hold the iron in a tilted
position and pour the water into the filling opening (fig. 3).
• Close the lid of the filling opening (fig. 4).
