Recommendations

Consult garment care labels to select the correct temperature setting and avoid prolonged contact with heat on delicate fabrics. Use distilled or demineralized water if your tap water is hard to reduce mineral buildup. Regularly clean the soleplate and follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions to maintain steam performance and extend the product's service life.
