Start ironing with the lowest temperature setting. CAUTION: When changing from a higher to a lower temperature the blue indicator starts ashing fast. This means that the temperature is too high for the setting. Do not singe your laundry! Only continue ironing after the blue indicator stops ashing and an acoustic signal is emitted. Water Tank (7)

• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it can be removed.

• The lock of the water tank is also the lime lter cartridge. Take out the lime lter cartridge to ll with water. With this, proceed as described under “How can I replenish the water during operation?”.

Water Use only tap water or distilled water. Do not 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.
