Designated use • This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was expressly conceived. Any other use is considered improper and thus dangerous. €¢ The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel. What water to use The appliance works with normal tap water. In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Never use demineralised water on its own. 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. Using the appliance for the first time • The first time you use the appliance, the steam generator is empty. 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. During filling/heating it is normal for the pump to make a noise. The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly than with subsequent fills. €¢ When used for the first time, the appliance may give off smoke and an odour for several minutes. This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam generator and iron. [. . . ] Turn the appliance off immediately and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services. Position the thermostat dial on the iron in the steam sector shown in fig. Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board. This will eliminate cold water from the steam circuit. [. . . ]
