What water should I use?
Your straightener has been designed to function using untreated tap water.
Test your water with the hardness
paper supplied with your appliance**. If the hardness exceeds 9°F, use 50% demineralised water (which can be
bought from hardware stores) and 50% untreated tap water.
Never use water which contains additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.),
heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may
contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear
of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air
conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or pure demineralised water.
This is because they contain organic waste or mineral elements which become concentrated under the effect
of heat and cause cracklings, brown colours or the premature ageing of your straightener.
If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mixture 50 % tap water and 50 % demineralised water
which you can purchase from a hardware store.
If the water runs out:
When using the straightener, you must be able to see steam coming out and hear the noise of the steam.
If you can’t see any steam anymore and you can’t hear the noise of the steam any longer either, this means that
the water tank needs to be re-filled.
In this case, once you have re-filled the water tank, you will need to wait for about 90 seconds before the steam
starts coming out of the straightener again.
