Unscrew the self-refilling tank cap (1) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank with about 1 litre of water, making sure it does not overflow.

In this case, remove the tank (3) from the appliance by pulling the lever upwards (3a) (Fig. Once the tank (3) is filled, reposition the cap and replace the tank, making sure that it is correctly fitted to the appliance. Water, in nature, contains magnesium and mineral salts which aid limescale build-up. To avoid this residue may cause problems to your appliance, use demineralized water only.

Press the illuminated ON/OFF switch (2) (Fig. 3); both the steam pressure (5) and the "iron heating" (10a) indicator lights go on. The noise you hear at times during the functioning of the appliance is normal and is simply due to the water flowing from the reservoir tank to the boiler.
