- Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.
- Close the cap of the water tank.
- Place the appliance on a stable, level surface (like a table or the floor).

Steam will come out from all the holes in the soleplate. Please do not set temperature below level 2 (●●) for steam ironing to avoid water drops coming out of the sole plate.
- For dry ironing, select the temperature most suitable for the garments to be ironed, then iron without pressing the steam button (13) or precision shot button (12). Take care that after 10 minutes of dry iron, the steam station turns into „stand-by“ mode.
