iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

Filling the water tank

•Place your steam generator on a stable, flat heat-resistant surface.

•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 flap on the tank.

•Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.4.
