The ironer can also be used with steam
for ironing dry or slightly damp laundry.
Ironing with and without steam
If your laundry is sufficiently damp for
ironing you can iron without using the
steam function. Use steam for ironing
dry laundry, or laundry that is only very
slightly damp.
Filling the water reservoir
^
Before switching on, fill the water
reservoir with tap water (approx. 0.8
litres) with the ironer set up in the
working position.
Do not use proprietary bottled ironing
or de-ionised water!
^
To make it easier, use the screw-on
funnel.
If the water hardness level in your area
exceeds 3 mmol/l (300 mg/l or 17°dH) it
is advisable to mix the tap water with
distilled water in a ratio of 1:1.
,
Never use softened or distilled
water on its own in this ironer as this
will cause pitting corrosion in the
water reservoir.
Fill the reservoir to the lower edge of
the neck with tap water. Do not fill it
any higher.
^
Replace the cap making sure it is
securely tightened. If it is not secure,
there is a danger of water leaking out
of the reservoir when the ironer is
folded up again.
If the a "Water reservoir empty"
indicator lights up red during ironing,
the water reservoir can be refilled with
tap water.
If the water reservoir is not filled while
the steam setting is activated, the Q
"Steam" and a "Water reservoir empty"
will flash alternately every few minutes.
Danger of burning! Take care. To
prevent the risk of scalding yourself
with hot steam do not open the cap
fully. It can be opened very slightly
to release the steam.
^
Wait until all the steam has escaped
before opening the cap and filling the
reservoir with water.
There may still be residual water in the
reservoir. The amount will depend on
the water hardness level and the
amount of limescale present.
