The first time you use your product, as well as every time you change the anti-scale cartridge, you must fill the water circuit. To do this, you must:
- Press the On/Off Switch for five seconds: the pump will prepare to fill the water circuit.
- Wait 1 min. 40 secs whilst the indicator light flashes (do not worry about the noise the pump makes during this process; do not press the steam button).
- When the indicator light remains lit, the appliance is ready for use.

Any time you handle your product's anti-scale cartridge, be sure that you remove the water tank from your product.

When replacing your cartridge, be sure to remove the two (red) caps from it. We recommend you do this when the appliance is cool and unplugged.
Be sure to follow the water circuit filling procedure.

If your appliance makes little or no steam, check the following:
- Did you correctly follow the start procedure (first use) described in the user manual?
- You completely emptied the water tank during use. To restart your product's pump, hold the steam button (trigger) down to create steam once again.
- If you just replaced your anti-scale cartridge, follow the priming procedure for the water circuit fill pump.
- Check that the red caps on your anti-scale cartridge have been properly removed. If they were not removed during installation, they might get stuck in your product's water inlet hole. Simply remove them with a pair of tweezers.

If, despite this, your product is still not making steam, refer to the user manual or contact our customer service.

We recommend using your product with the tip of the soleplate pointed up, and that you do not hold the steam button down.

The first time you use your product, you may notice a small release of water, smoke or odour from the soleplate. This is related to the manufacturing process and has no impact on you, your product or your fabrics. It will disappear after several uses.

Be sure that you do not automatically turn your product to "First Time Start-up" or "Start-up After Anti-scale Cartridge Change" mode (hold the ON/OFF switch for five seconds). This mode must only be used during the first use or after changing the anti-scale cartridge. For all other times you switch on the appliance, press the ON/OFF switch correctly.

If, despite this, your product still spits water, refer to the user manual or contact our customer service.

The anti-scale cartridge is reaching the end of its life; it should be replaced. Once the cartridge has been replaced, following the pump priming procedure.

When the anti-scale indicator light remains lit, the anti-scale cartridge must be changed immediately. If the anti-scale cartridge is not changed, the appliance will switch off automatically.
