BEFORE STARTING TO IRON
• With your Velocity iron unplugged from the main outlet, open the filler hole
cap Fig 1 (1) by turning it backwards (see arrow).
• Due to the high level of water hardness in most areas, Reliable recommends
that you always use distilled or demineralized water for ironing. You will
thus guarantee that your iron stays in perfect condition for as long as possible.
If you cannot find distilled water for any reason, be sure to use water that
is low in minerals (soft).
• The following is a list of the best water for your Velocity iron in order
of preference:
° Distilled water
° Softened water (from a household water softener)
° Filtered water with low mineral content (counter top unit or store bought)
° Tap water (if your tap water is hard, this is the least recommended).
• Fill the tank, without exceeding the maximum level, with the water jug
supplied Fig 1 (6), keeping the iron in the vertical position, resting on its end
Fig 1. When the tank is full, close the cap.
• We advise you to fill the tank up to the maximum level marked on it as this
appliance generates a substantial flow of steam, otherwise you will need to
fill the water tank more often.
• Check whether the garment you are going to iron has a label indicating the
ironing temperature. We recommend that you classify the garments accord-
ing to their required ironing temperature and to begin with the garments that
are ironed with the lowest temperature (•).
ATTENTION: Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary
is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate.
