The first time the appliance is
used, there may be some
fumes and smell but this is not
harmful. They will not affect
use and will disappear rapidly.
If your water is very hard
(check with your local water
authority) it is possible to mix
untreated tap water with store-
bought distilled or demineralised
water in the following proportions :
50% untreated tap water,
50% distilled or demineralised
water.

Preparation
What water may be used ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
However, in some coastal regions, your water may have a high salt
content. In this case, only use demineralised water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or
mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature
wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened
water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure
distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your
iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
Filling the water tank
• Place your steam generator on a stable, flat heat-resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the
garments for better ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
fig.4.
Using your steam generator
• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its
storage space .
• Tilt the locking ring of the iron forwards to release the safety catch
(according to the model).
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
• The boiler heats up -
fig.14.
When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2
minutes approximately), the appliance is ready -
fig.15.
