Filling with water (for steam-ironing and spraying)
• Please fill this iron with normal tap water before using for the first time.
• For refilling, you can also use tapwater. However, if the water is very
hard (hardness higher than 17 °DH / 21
1
⁄
4
°Clarke), it is advisable to
use distilled water.
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket before filling the iron.
Set the steam control (B) to position O (= no steam).
- Stand the iron on its end and open the filling funnel (fig. 2).
- Pour water (max. 250 ml) into the filling aperture (fig. 3).
Use the measuring beaker with spout for this purpose.
- Close the filling funnel (fig. 4).
