Refill the tank as needed during extended sessions and follow the manufacturer's safety guidance when handling hot surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use tap water according to the user manual guidance and descale regularly with the Easy CalcClean system. Start with lower steam settings for delicate fabrics and increase steam or use the boost function for heavier textiles. Store the appliance in an upright, cool place after it has fully cooled down and the tank is emptied for long-term storage.
