Important notice for appliances ≥ 2200W only:
Under unfavorable mains 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 0,29Ω . 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 bottle, with low mineral level.
• They are different type of softened water, and most of them can be used in your appliance. However, some of them, especially the one with chemical components, like salt, might occur white or brown runs. If you face this type of issue, we recommend you to use non-treated tap water or bottled water.
• You should not use water from domestic appliances, with additives (starch, perfume, etc.) , rain water, boiled, filtered, bottled water. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralized water. Such water might affect steam attributes and at high temperature generate steam chamber sediment, liable to stain your linen and cause early appliance aging.
