WHAT WATER TO USE?
Your appliance was designed to operate using tap water.
However, it is necessary to periodically clean the steam
chamber to remove any mineral deposits.
If your water is very hard (above 30°f or 17°dH or
21°e), mix 50% tap water with 50% demineralised water
(available in hardware stores).
Do not use water with additive (starch, perfume, aromatic
substances, softener, etc.), condensation water (e.g.
water from clothes dryers, water from refrigerators, water
from air conditioners, rainwater), pure demineralized or
pure demineralised water.
These types of water contain organic waste, mineral
elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear
on your iron.
ENVIRONMENT
