Filling the Water Tank (8)
A Word on Water
8B
Fig. 2
Our steam irons should be used with tap water up to 3 mmol/l alkaline earth ions (check the
degree of hardness of your water with your local water authority) or a mixture of
distilled/demineralized water with tap water.
If your tap water is very hard, you can mix 1:1 distilled / demineralized water with mineral water so
that your steam performance will be good.
Never use water containing additives, battery top-up water from service stations, water from
household softening systems or descaling agents.
Distilled/Demineralized Water:
This should normally be mixed 1:1 with tap water. The use of pure distilled/demineralized water
creates difficulties with steam production and can cause water to escape through the soleplate
(formation of drops).
Note
: If water escapes through the soleplate while you are using distilled/demineralized water,
we recommend you use tap water 3 or 4 times.
Water with Additives:
Starch, conditioner, perfume and fabric conditioner should never be added to the water. These
result in residues in the steam chamber which will damage your iron and stain your laundry. For
this reason, no condensed water (water from driers may be used, as this can contain additives
(e.g. conditioner).
Descaling the Iron:
Do not use chemical descaling agents as these can cause damage to the iron and stain your
laundry.
Battery Water From Service Stations
:
Do not use battery water as only minute quantities of acid can cause damage tot he iron.
Water From Household Water Softening Systems
:
Do not use water from household water softening systems because even though these systems
remove calcium from the water, they add other substances to it. Therefore this water is not
suitable for steam irons.
Filling the Water Tank
1. Push down the water tank lock (8B).
2. Slide out the water tank (8A) from under the iron stand (8). (Fig. 2)
3. Rotate slightly the top of the “Anti-Calc” Cassette and pull it out of the water tank.
4. Fill the water tank up to the “Max” mark, as shown below in fig #2.
5. Return the water tank (8A) to its place, under the iron stand (8).
Note
: Make sure that the water tank (8A) is pushed back to its place and the lock (8B) is
closed. If the water tank (8A) is not
in its place, it will not be able to deliver water from
the pump to the iron.
