Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard

water to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they
may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.
Caution: Be careful when you remove the water tank. The area near the tip of the iron may be hot
