Important notice for appliances ≥ 2200W only:
Under unfavorable main conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen. Therefore, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0,29 Ω. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.

What water should I use

• This appliance has been designed to be used with untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, (hardness above 30°F, or 17°dH or 21°e) use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. In some seaside regions, salt content might be high. In that case, use only water bottles, with a low mineral level.
• They are different types of softened water, and most of them can be used in your appliance. However, some of them, especially the ones with chemical components, like salt, might occur in white or brown runs. If you face this type of issue, we recommend you use non-treated tap water or bottled water.
• You should not use water from domestic appliances, with additives (starch, perfume, etc.), rainwater, boiled, filtered, or bottled water. Do not use pure distilled or pure demineralized water. Such water might affect steam attributes and at high temperatures generate steam chamber sediment, liable to stain your linen and cause early appliance aging.
