Breville Super Steam Iron - 2600W - Navy

Tap water is generally suitable. However, if you live in an area with very hard water, we recommend using a 50/50 mix of tap and distilled water, or solely distilled water, to minimize `limescale build-up` and prolong the iron's life. Do not use scented water or water containing additives.

It is recommended to use the `self-cleaning function` regularly, ideally every 2-4 weeks, especially if you iron frequently or reside in a hard water area. This helps maintain optimal steam performance and prevents internal `limescale` accumulation.

The Breville Super Steam Ceramic Iron features a `Safe-Store heat indicator`. This indicator will change visually (e.g., from red to green, or illuminate) to confirm when the `soleplate` has cooled down to a safe temperature for handling and storage, typically within 30-45 minutes.

Yes, the powerful `190g/min steam shot` is highly effective for vertical steaming. You can use it to refresh hanging garments, drapes, or delicate fabrics that are difficult to iron flat.

Ensure the iron has reached its selected temperature before engaging the steam function. The `anti-drip feature` is designed to prevent leaks but works best when the `soleplate` is hot enough to instantly convert water into steam. Using steam at too low a temperature can cause dripping. Also, avoid overfilling the water tank.

A `ceramic soleplate` offers several advantages: it provides excellent heat distribution for even ironing, reduces static cling, and its smooth, non-stick surface allows the iron to glide effortlessly over a wide range of fabrics, making ironing faster and easier. It is also durable and scratch-resistant.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the temperature control dial is set to an active temperature setting and not on 'min' or 'off'. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

Ensure the water tank is filled to the maximum line. Check that the iron has reached its set temperature (the indicator light should confirm this). Activate the `self-cleaning function` to clear any blocked steam vents. Make sure the steam control is set to the desired level.

This often occurs if the iron is not hot enough for steam. Ensure the iron has reached its operating temperature before using steam. The `anti-drip feature` works most effectively at higher temperatures. Also, avoid overfilling the water tank.

This can be caused by limescale build-up or starch residue. Perform the `self-cleaning function` thoroughly. Clean the soleplate when cool using a damp cloth. Consider using distilled or a mix of distilled and tap water if you have very hard tap water.

Ensure the `ceramic soleplate` is clean and free of starch or fabric residue. Wipe it gently with a damp cloth after it has cooled. Adjust the temperature setting to match the fabric, as some synthetic fabrics can become sticky at very high temperatures.
