Which part is the ione that opens? If the iron is sitting up is that the top part that you said opens to fill the water?

Yes. On my iron it's gray. It's a little bit difficult to open. I set my iron down flat and flip it open, then set it back up on the end to fill it up. Then it just snaps shut.

There is a fairly obvious little "door" at the top (if the iron is upright) of the iron that flips down when you open it. It was quite hard to open the first few times. I was scared I would break it, but a friend's husband used the brute force method and yanked it open.

yes, its the top grey part. You have to mash the top part in and flip it down.. it is kind of tricky, but once you figure it out it is easy. It is easier to do while the iron is laying down and not sitting up.

If the iron is sitting pointy end up then it's the lower end of the grey door that needs to be pryed up -but- it's very heard even with a screwdriver. You have to wonder who designs or tests these things

Yes, there is no opening. You just drop it in the tank and walk away. I've had hard water/mineral trouble with my well water for twenty years...noticed a difference within a week. I won't be without them again! Even the OLD stains are fading.

It has a hinge in the middle so you can open it but I never used it. I would just take the whole top off because I was afraid the cover would fall into the tank. (I was a paranoid fish mama)

At the top of the machine at the front edge is a panel that flips up with your touch. You just pour the water in there. Very easy and simple and at the perfect spot. The reservoir holds quite a bit of water. Easy to fill and doesn't need to be done very often. By the way I really truly like this machine. It's been one of my favorite purchases in a long time. Does everything I wanted well and does it the way I wanted it to work.

The top is open but there is a valve in the middle that prevents it from just pouring out.

I see your problem! I had to read the instructions. On the bottom there is a wavy piece of plastic, wavy for water, but it also makes a nice handle. Turn it counter-clockwise to open, remove, fill, turn clockwise to close. Easy, yes, once you know how!

It is open at the bottom and solid in the top. Fit the patio heater we have with no problem.

Not difficult at all! If you are looking at the picture, the water reservoir section opens to the right. The other main top part opens backwards like a lid. You pop out the coffee basket (easy) and then the entire top silver part that is showing above the display comes right out.

Toward the front of the handle (toward the nose of the iron)there is lid that you can pop open.

The top separates from the machine. That's what you normally use fill the reservoir.

Unfortunately screw the top where you put the water in at and dump it . One of my main fitting broke the first time I used it :(.And the company won't back it up.

The water goes in right above the two steam and spray buttons. I took it to my quilt retreat last fall, and it worked very well. I also use it right next to my sewing machine when I don't want to get up and go to my regular iron each time.

The spout does open all the way up. You could fill it that way, but it's much easier to fill from the large top opening.

small opening on the top (upper lip curvature)..sometimes I attached a black (8ft) drainage plastic pipe that directs the extra rain water to the garden.

Hi Linda D. Actually, I never figured out how to open the cover. My husband and a friend also tried to figure it out with no luck. I have been ironing with many different irons since I started high school in 1963 and I have never had a problem filling an iron with water. This is another reason I returned the iron before using.Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm sure Black and Decker has an 800 number; I would call them, give them the model number, and then ask for pointers on how to open the water cover so you can fill the iron. Good luck

It has no rrolers in each side. They are just plastic cover for the metal part. It is heavy border and is not that easy to move it around. And is horrible to fill it with water. I will not advice this iron.

No,This Float Starts The Pump When The Water Reaches AFull Level, Called Normally Open Circuit. You Want A Float That Shuts Off The Pump At A Full Level And Starts When Low Level, Called Normally c
