Filling the water tank
NOTE
Use only tap water or distilled water.
If the mains water in your location is rated as hard, it is recommended that you
mix the mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, limescale deposits
can adversely affect the appliance functions.
Mix tap water with distilled water as described in the table below:
Water hardness
Ratio of distilled water to
tap water
very soft/soft -
medium 1:1
hard 2:1
very hard 3:1
Ask your local water utility about the water hardness in your area. Do not add
water with any additives (such as starch, perfume, softeners or other chemi-
cals) to the water tank 0. These could damage the appliance as residues can
form in the steam chamber. The residues could contaminate the clothing if they
come out of the steam outlets.
1) Remove the plug from the mains power socket if it is plugged in.
2) Pull the water tank
0 by the handle out of the base station (see fig. 3).
Fig. 3
3) Fill the water tank 0 through the filler opening 9 up to at least the MIN
marking with water. Do not fill above the MAX marking in the water tank 0
(see fig. 4).
