How do I fill the water tank?
Unplug the iron and open the water tank inlet. Fill the tank with clean water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill.
How often should I clean the anti-scale collector?
Clean the anti-scale collector regularly, ideally after every few uses, or when the indicator signals it's time.
