Water Recommendations
Move the Variable Steam Control Dial to the maximum position .•
Singer Home Essentials irons are designed to be used with regular tap water.•
On an ironing board or protected surface, iron an old towel or other heavy •
material until the water tank is empty and no more steam is produced.
It is normal for a small amount of smoke and a light odor to be produced the •
first time the iron is used. This will disappear quickly.
Particles may emit from the iron the first time it is used. They are not harmful •
and should disappear after the iron has been used as described above.
If your water is especially hard or if you use a water softener, try using •
inexpensive bottled spring water.
Never use water with additives, including scents, starches, or fabric •
conditioners, as they can cause deposits to form in the iron that can stain
clothing.
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE IRON IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE FILLING
WITH WATER OR COMING INTO CONTACT WITH LIQUID OF ANY KIND.

This iron is designed to reduce dripping and spitting while in use. Steam is
automatically disabled when the soleplate temperature is too low to create
steam, preventing spitting or dripping.
The Anti-Drip system may make a loud clicking sound during use. This is normal
and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

The built-in Anti-Scale cartridge is designed to reduce the buildup of mineral
substances in the water which occurs during steam ironing, thereby extending

anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of lime scale
buildup.
