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 inexpensive spring water.

Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak.
