IMPORTANT GUIDELINES The appliance is designed to work with tap water; however, if the

water in your area is very hard, mix the tap water (50%) with distilled

and/or demineralised water (50%). Salt concentration in water in

certain seaside areas is very high: in such cases it is important to use

“demineralised water for irons” available on the market. If in doubt,

only demineralised water for steam irons must be used.

Do not use diluting agents, scented liquids or descaling agents as

these substances can damage the product. Do not use water from

dryers, air-conditioners and rain water.

The reservoir may contain some water as each product is tested before

being put on the market.

It is recommended to place a cloth between the iron and the fabric

when using the iron for the first time.

It is recommended to direct a jet of steam into the air before starting

to iron, for any residual condensation to be let out.
