The steam generator will take more time to reach
“Steam ready” state only upon the initial heating
up, or after performing the de-scaling operation
(Calc’n’Clean).
When water is already present in the steam
generator during regular use, heat up time to reach
the operating temperature will be faster.

“re
fi
ll water tank” indicator (11) will light when the
water tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your
district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water
1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your
local water supplier.

fi
lled at any time while using
the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the water
tank and the boiler, do not put perfume, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, additives or any other type of chemi-
cal product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforementioned products, will make the
guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please
always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially
designed recess on the appliance or somewhere
suitable alongside the ironing area.

fi
rst use the iron may produce certain
vapours and odours, along with white particles on
the soleplate, this is normal and it will stop after a few
minutes
• While the steam release button is pressed, the water
tank may produce a pumping sound, this is normal,
indicating that water is being pumped to the steam
tank.
