• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.

• Open the seal (7) of the water tank and fi ll it through the opening with not more than 0.6 litres of pure distilled water. In order to prevent the contents of the tank from leaking, do not overfi ll the tank. In this way you will prevent any excess water from coming out of the soleplate.

• Then re-tighten the seal. We recommend rinsing out the water tank approximately 3 times with fresh water.

• Do not fi ll battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir. This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate. 05-DBS 762 CB 25 15.08.2006, 11:26:25 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH
