Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.

3. Water Tank Filling:
   • Ensure the appliance is unplugged.
   • Remove the removable 2.5-liter water tank.
   • Fill the tank with tap water up to the MAX level. For prolonged life and optimal performance, especially in hard water areas, consider using a mix of tap water and distilled water (50/50).

   The large 2.5-liter water tank allows for extended ironing sessions without frequent refills, thanks to the No Stop Vapor technology.

4. Filter Installation:
   • The Imetec Onda P1 comes with 3 silver ion filters designed to protect against limescale.
   • Locate the filter compartment, usually near the water tank.
   • Insert the filter as per the markings.
   

   Proper installation of the silver ion filter helps protect the iron from limescale and impurities, ensuring long-lasting performance.
