clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, filtered,
bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water as these may
damage the iron. These types of water contain organic waste,
mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your
iron
