The soleplate 7 cools down slightly while
you are working. The appliance then heats
up the soleplate to reach the selected tem-
perature again, and the temperature con-
trol lamp 5 lights up. The temperature
control lamp is extinguished when the
selected temperature is reached. This
process repeats itself while you work. You
can simply continue ironing while the appli-
ance heats up.
4.1 Filling water tank
DANGER! When filling up the
water tank 8, unplug the appli-
ance at the wall socket.
• Only use clean tap water without add-
ing anything to it (e.g. vinegar, des-
caler, starch, scent, fabric softener).
• The built-in Anti-scale system reduces
scale build-up with average water
hardness, so extending the life of your
iron. If the tap water in your area is
hard, use distilled water. If the water is
moderately hard, mix distilled water
