Which Water Should I Use?
Your appliance has been designed to work with tap water. However, it is necessary to regularly perform self-cleaning of the steam generator chamber in order to remove limescale. If your water is very hard, we recommend that you use a maximum of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in most shops. Never use water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc.), condensation water (e. g. clothes dryer water, refrigerator water, air conditioner water, rainwater), pure demineralized water or distilled water from store. These contain organic waste or minerals that condense under the influence of heat and cause spitting, brown dripping or premature aging of your device.

What Is The Right Temperature For My Clothes?
It is essential to select the right ironing temperature. Your iron has a built-in thermostat controlling the temperature very precisely over the entire surface of the soleplate. The thermostat dial contains international markers with dots corresponding to three ironing temperatures. Make sure that you use the right temperature for your clothes:

• Marker with 1 dot for synthetic fabrics.
• Marker with 2 dots for wool and silk.
• Marker with 3 dots for cotton and linen.

Can I Use My Steam Iron For Dry Ironing?
Yes and you do not need to fill the tank with water. Set the variable steam control to Dry and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points •, ••, •••). At the end of your ironing session, we would suggest that once your iron has cooled down, you should wipe over the soleplate and around the steam holes to remove any burned fibers that may have started collecting around the steam holes.

How Do I Clean the Anti-Calc Valve on My Iron?
If your iron has an anti-calc system, you should clean the anti-calc valve once a month. To do this:

1. Unplug the iron and leave it to cool for 30-45 minutes.
2. Empty the water and remove the valve, holding it by the top.
3. Let the anti-calc valve soak for 4 hours in a glass of commercially available white vinegar or natural lemon juice, then thoroughly rinse the anti-calc valve under tap water.
4. Reposition the anti-calc valve into your iron. Warning! Never touch the end of the anti-calc valve.

How Do I Prevent The Steam Holes Of My Iron From Clogging Up?
Firstly, fill the iron tank to MAX with water. Set the thermostat control to Max and the steam control on DRY and switch on. Place the iron on its heel and leave to heat up for around 5 minutes. Unplug the iron then hold your iron horizontally above the sink. Remove the anti-scale valve (or set the control to self-clean/autoclean depending on the model). Steam, water and scale deposits will leave the steam chamber through the steam holes and the iron will be clean. At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position. When your iron is cold, you will also be able to use your vacuum to gently suction limescale and dirt that may have clogged the holes in the soleplate.

What Should I Do To Maintain My Iron Correctly?
Four good tips: After use, empty the tank, close the steam control, set the thermostat to minimum and stand the iron upright or place it on the base (depending on model). Cleaning: Use a damp soft cloth to wipe your iron and never use cleaners or solvents. If your iron has an auto-clean function, refer to the instruction manual before using it. Tips:

• Always use untreated water in your iron. If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water.
• Avoid placing your iron on sharp objects such as zip fasteners and metal buttons.
• Do not put your iron down flat on rough surfaces.
