B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you
have extremely hard water, we recom-
mend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap
water and 50 % distilled water. Fill the
water tank to «max» marking. Never use
distilled water exclusively. Do not add
any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use
condensation water from a tumble dryer.
