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
