Using your appliance
1. Filling the water tank
This appliance has been designed to use normal tap
water.
Important: Do not use additives! The addition of other
liquids, such as perfume, vinegar, starch, condensation
water from tumble dryers or air conditioning systems, or
chemicals will damage the appliance. Any damage
caused by the use of the aforementioned products will
make the guarantee void!

be avoided or at least minimized.
Warning: Ironing with an excessive amount of steam
may produce condensation of the hot water and

4. Energy saving
If the energy saving setting is selected, you can save
energy and water and still achieve good results when
ironing most of your garments.
1Press the energy saving button “Eco” (3). The
indicator light will come on.
2To switch back to the normal energy setting, press the
“Eco” button again. It is advisable to use the normal
energy setting to get optimum results on thick and
very wrinkled fabrics.
Tips to help you save energy:
• If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set
the tumble drier on the iron dry programme.
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and
reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from
the fabrics rather than the iron.
5. Auto switch off
For your safety and to save energy, the appliance
switches off automatically when it has not been used for 8
minutes.
