In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners etc. If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has a neutral pH. When filling the steam generator for the first time, it will take longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the steam generator and replaced by the water. The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than with subsequent fills. This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam generator and iron. If you have not used steam for several minutes, press the steam delivery button a number of times away from the "Safe transport": certain models are fitted with a locking system which locks the iron in position during transport. When the iron is locked in position, it must not be used as a carrying handle to transport the appliance!To position the iron correctly, insert the tip of the plate into the housing B, rest the iron in position and move the lock J to the locking position. To release the iron, move the lock J into the release position and remove the iron from its housing. [. . . ] Never pour products into the water tank (see our tips in the quick guide).
