Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the iron is unplugged before filling.
- Open the easy-fill water tank lid.
- Using a clean jug, fill the water tank to the maximum fill line indicated.
- Close the water tank lid securely.
- Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
Compatibility:
This steam iron is designed for use with standard tap water. However, if you live in a hard water area, it is recommended to use a 50/50 mix of tap water and distilled or demineralized water to maximize the effectiveness of the anti-calc function.
Care:
- Cleaning the Soleplate: After each use and once the iron has cooled down, wipe the ceramic soleplate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
- Emptying the Water Tank: Always empty the water tank after use to prevent mineral buildup and potential leaks.
- Using Anti-Calc: Periodically, and especially if you notice reduced steam output, you may need to descale the iron. Refer to the specific descaling instructions in the manufacturer's manual (often involves filling the tank with water, heating the iron, and pressing the self-clean/anti-calc button while holding the iron horizontally over a sink).
- Storage: Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a cool, dry place. Ensure the cord is loosely coiled and not tightly wrapped around the iron.
