When the element is found to be defective, sole plate along with the sealed heating element
has to be replaced. Distilled water is recommended for filling into the tank. Ordinary water, if
used, may result in deposition of salts in the tank and clog the entry and exit ports. It is
recommended to flush the water in the tank by pressing the steam control knob fully for some
time before the iron is switched off keeping it till next use. Salt deposits can be removed by filling
the tank with water diluted vinegar and plugging the iron to supply. A number of attempts may be
made to flush to iron by pressing steam control knob.
