Preparation
What water may be used ?
This appliance has been designed to be used with untreated tap water.
Types of water not to use: In order to maintain your maxi steam iron life, you should not use water from clothes
dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
All the types of water listed above may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining or premature wear of the appliance.
If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water
available in hardware stores.
Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water.
Do not fill the water tank from the cartridge compartment.
Filling the water tank
• Place your iron on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heatproof and waterproof.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear
of the cord.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better
ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the refill inlet cover on the front of the water tank.
• Fill the water tank with untreated tap water until the max level.
• Close the water tank refill inlet cover.
• Do not fill the water tank from the cartridge compartment.
• This appliance is designed to be used with a cartridge.
Using your Maxi steam iron
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use
and will disappear rapidly.
• Completely unwind the power cord and the water connection cord.
• Plug in your appliance to an earthed socket.
• Press on the on / off switch. The max indicator located on the control panel flashes while the iron heats up. When
the max indicator light stops flashing and the iron thermostat light goes out (after 2 minutes approximately),
the appliance is ready for use.
• If you use the appliance for the first time, if you have replaced the anti calc cartridge or after filling the
water tank, press the steam control button continuously for a few minutes pointing it away from your linen,
in order to prime the pump and obtain steam when the temperature dial is in the 3 dot position.
• When in use, your electric pump injects water into the iron solepate. It makes a noise but this is normal.
Use
