After inserting the water container, wait
until the steam ironing system is ready
to use steam. This is indicated by the
Ready for use message in the display.
If the water container is refilled during
the ironing process, the steam
generator may have to reheat.
Tip: If you fill the water container as
soon as the Fill water cont. message
is displayed and the container is
inserted into the tower there is no delay.
The steam ironing system is not active
whilst the message Fill water cont. is
shown in the display. However, you may
continue to use the iron.
Tip: You can save energy by ironing dry
and without steam. To do this, remove
the water container. In this case, the
steam generator will not be heated and
the inflation and suction function of the
ironing board is not available (see
“Active ironing board”).
Water quality
Use only fresh tap water.
Water prepared using commercially
available water filters may also be
used.
For water hardness of more than
14°dH / 2.5 mmol/l you can use tap
water mixed at a 1:1 ratio with distilled
water. This halves the water hardness.
Set the halved water hardness to the
corresponding level on the steam
ironing system (see “Setting the water
hardness”).
If your tap water has a water hardness
of 60°dH / 10.8 mmol/l the mixing ratio
of 1:1 with distilled water results in a
water hardness of 30°dH / 5.4 mmol/l.
The water hardness level that must be
set on your steam ironing system must
now be Level 7.
Never use solely demineralised
(distilled) water to fill the water
container.
This can cause the steam ironing
system to malfunction.
Do not use water from a water
softener system.
Do not use condensate (e.g. from
other appliances such as air
conditioning units, dryers).
Never use rainwater.
Do not use additives, (e.g. perfumes,
ironing water, starch, carbon
dioxide).
