ENGLISH C 3 Pour water into the steam tank (max. 1 litre). Use tap water to fill the tank up to the maximum level. If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix tap water with an equal portion of distilled water, or to use distilled water only.

ENGLISH Problem Possible cause(s) Solution Some smoke comes out of the appliance after you have switched the appliance on for the first time. This is normal. Some parts of the iron have been greased lightly in the factory. This phenomenon will cease after a short while. White particles come out of the soleplate of your new iron. This is normal with a new iron. These particles are harmless and they will stop coming out of the soleplate when you have used the iron a few times.
