filling
3 You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should
use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
4 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for use in irons.
5 Unplug the iron.
6 Turn the temperature control to •, move the steam control to S (#3).
7 Lift the top of the water inlet cover to open it.
8 Hold the iron with the soleplate level.
9 Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise
you’ll cause an air lock and the water will overflow.
10 Don’t fill past max, or water will escape in use.
11 Wipe up any spillage.

then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
