TIPS
Which type of water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your
water is very hard, it’s possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought
distilled or demineralized water in the following proportion: 50% tap water /
50% distilled water.
Which type of water not to use?
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that
can cause brown staining, or leakage: water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, and water from air conditioners.
IF PROBLEMS OCCUR?
Water drips from the
holes in the soleplate. The chosen tempera-
ture is too low and does
not allow for the forma-
tion of steam. Position the thermostat
to the maximum tem-
perature setting.
You are using steam
while the iron is not hot
enough. Press and hold the
steam release button
(12) until steam comes
out
You have stored the iron
horizontal, without
emptying it and without
switching off the steam
function. Empty the iron after
each use and store it
vertical.
