PREPARATION
Filling the water tank
What water to use?
Your iron has been designed to use untreated tap water.
However, the self-clean function must be performed
regularly on the steam chamber to remove limescale.
If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water
and 50% distilled water.
• Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled
water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened
water, or water containing additives (starch,
perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.), rain
water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from
refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners. These types
of water contain organic waste, mineral elements
that become concentrated when heated and cause
spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear
on your iron.
Warning ! Do not fill your iron through the scale
collector opening. Do not remove the anti-calc
collector to fill the tank.*
