1 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt,
check with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can
mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or
mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature
wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened
water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled
or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also
do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing
board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid
steam venting sideways.
