What water may be used?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50% tap water with
50% distilled or demineralised water.
Do no add anything to the contents of the water tank and do not use
water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refri-
gerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water, rain water,
boiled water, bottled water or filtered water. These contain organic
waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to your iron.
Tip: Spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed to
avoid stains on the soleplate.
