Important: Always empty the water tank when ironing is finished. WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA IRONS Tap water Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULAR TAP WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this, Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with half distilled water which reduces the hardness; or use just inexpensive bottled spring water. Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak. Softened water There are many types of household water softeners and the water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those that use chemicals such as salt, can cause the iron to leak or spit during use. If you experience this type of problem we recommend trying inexpensive bottled spring water or untreated tap water. [. . . ] Most softened water is alright, but if you experience leaks or spitting, change to untreated tap water or inexpensive bottled spring water. The light goes on and off showing the thermostat is switching the heat on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
