Warning!

Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.

During the first few uses, a harmless odour and smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

What water to use ?

Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority), it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions : - 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.
