How to Use Purified Water in a Steam Iron

Step 1

Unplug the iron's power cord from the electrical outlet.

Step 2

Turn the steam control to the "Off" position.

Step 3

Set the iron upright so the filling inlet sits horizontally.

Step 4

Mix 1/4 cup of tap water with 1/4 cup distilled water in a spouted container. Alternatively, use undiluted bottled spring water.

Step 5

Pour the distilled water mixture or spring water slowly into the water filling inlet until it reaches the maximum level as indicated by the marks on the inlet.
