- Fill the empty water reservoir, using the
measuring cup provided, with max. 1.2
litres of water. When refilling the
reservoir while the boiler is still hot, we
recommend using hot water. This will
help to reduce the build-up of steam,
and also prevent hot water from
splashing out during filling.
- Replace the cap on the filler hole.
- Once the water has been used up during
ironing, the water-level warning light
starts flashing. Switch off the boiler and

Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.

For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty. In this case, the boiler should
not be switched on.
●
Once the water has been used up during

Replace the iron on its rest on the steam
generator after use, and remove the plug
from the wall socket.
Steam jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, jets
of steam are emitted through the openings in
the soleplate. This function can be very
useful when removing stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to remove
creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
For extended steam output, push the slide
control towards the handle while keeping
the steam jet button depressed.
To unlock the slide-control again, push it
forwards.
