thus guarantee that your iron stays in perfect condition for as long as possible.
If you cannot find distilled water for any reason, be sure to use water that
is low in minerals (soft).

ironing temperature. We recommend that you classify the garments accord-
ing to their required ironing temperature and to begin with the garments that
areironedwiththelowesttemperature(•).
ATTENTION: Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary
is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate.
