Most ordinary tap water can be used. In extremely hard water areas, distilled or demineralized water should be used.
The iron automatically shuts off power if left unmoved with the soleplate down for about 1 minute, or on its heel rest for about 10 minutes.
Set the water level to half full, preheat at '6', then pump the jet of steam button quickly about 20-30 times while holding the iron horizontally over a sink.
