Should the mains water at your locality be rated as
hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the
steam blast function could calcify (become blocked)
prematurely.

Ironing tips
Sort the laundry in accord with the type of material.
Always observe the ironing and care instructions
given for the material. Start with the materials that
require the lowest heat settings.
If you are not sure what material has been used in
the garment, first of all carefully iron a small area
(hem-piece or an inner edge). In cases of serious
doubt, start with a low iron temperature. If creases
remain, slowly increase the heat level in steps.
When you have found the temperature which gives
the best ironing results, do not increase the
temperature further. Never raise the temperature so
high that the material of the garment could be
damaged.
