1 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your
local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap
water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORT NT 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 demi-
neralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. lso do not use boiled, filtered
or bottled water.
IRONING BO RD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be
used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
USE
2 • Filling the water tank
3 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using
the temperature control dial.
Temperature control*: The temperature control light indi-
cates that the soleplate is heating up. When the tempera-
ture control light goes off , the set temperature is reached
and you can begin ironing.
IMPORT NT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that
you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the tem-
perature for the most delicate fabric.
TIP lways spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
