Which type of water not to use?

The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or leakage: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from air conditioners.

If problems occur?

Water drips from the holes in the soleplate.	The chosen temperature is too low and does not allow for the formation of steam.	Position the thermostat to the maximum temperature setting.
	You are using steam while the iron is not hot enough.	Wait until the control light goes out.
	You have stored the iron horizontal, without emptying it and without switching off the steam function.	Empty the iron after each use, and store it vertical.
Brown streaks come through the holes in the soleplate and stain the linen.	You are using chemical descaling agents.	Do not add any descaling agents to the water.
	Fabric fibers have accumulated in the holes of the soleplate and are burning.	Let the iron cool down and clean the soleplate with a sponge. Vacuum the holes of the soleplate from time to time.
	Your linen has not been rinsed sufficiently or you have ironed a new garment before washing it.	Make sure that your laundry is rinsed sufficiently so as to remove any deposits of soap or chemical products on new clothes.
