Fill the water tank before every use and when the ‘water tank
empty’ light ashes.

1 Remove the water tank from the appliance and ll it with
tap water up to the MAX indication.
Tip: Your appliance has been designed for use with tap water.
If you live in an area with very hard water, scale builds up

trigger to let the appliance heat up again. When the ‘iron ready’
light lights up continuously, you can continue steam ironing.

of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron
temperature setting.

Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading
out your laundry properly after washing and by putting
garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer
wrinkles.
Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cu links and
sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to
prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing
the time-consuming parts.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work
from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and
repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more
crisp nish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more
eective and faster ironing.
Cleaning and maintenance
To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the
appliance regularly.
1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove
stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washing-
up liquid.
2 To easily and eectively remove stains from the soleplate,
switch on the appliance and let it heat up. When the
appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth
while you press the steam trigger.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.

soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash and the
appliance beeps continuously.

continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to
indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform
the following EASY DE-CALC procedure before you continue
ironing.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool
down for at least two hours before you perform the EASY DE-
CALC procedure.

EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with
scale particles ow into the cup.
