X FILLING

distilled water (not chemically descaled water).
4 If you buy distilled water, check that it is marketed as suitable for irons.
5 Don’t add anything to the water – you’ll damage the iron.
6 Unplug the appliance.
7 Open the water inlet cover.
8 Tilt the iron till the water inlet cover is vertical.
