FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, but 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 that it’s suitable for use in irons.
1. Unplug the iron.
2. Set the temperature control to •.
3. Open the cover.
4. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the
water will overow.
5. Don’t ll past max, or water will escape in use.
6. Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCH ON
1. Set the temperature control to •.
2. Sit the iron on its heel.
3. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the mark. The light will
come on.
5. When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the light will go o. It’ll then cycle on and
o as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
