FILLING
You may use the stand with tap-water, however if you live in a hard
water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled
or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in
irons.
• Unplug the stand from the wall power outlet and lift the iron.
• Set the steam control to
no steam.
• Lift the cover of the water inlet to open it.
• Hold the iron with the soleplate horizontal.
• Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you will
cause an air lock and the water may overow.
• Do not ll past ‘max’, or water may spill whilst in use.
• Wipe up any spillage.
HEATING YOUR IRON
Your iron is heated by placing it onto the stand. The smart status light will show you when you
need to reheat your iron and when it is ready to use. The smart status light operates as follows:
