Breville Super Steam Ceramic Iron - Merlot

We recommend using tap water. If your tap water is particularly hard, you can mix it 50/50 with distilled or demineralized water. Avoid using 100% distilled water as it can affect steam performance or cause spitting in some irons.

When the iron is cool, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive detergent. For stubborn residue, specialized iron soleplate cleaners are available. Never use abrasive scouring pads or metal objects.

Descaling frequency depends on your water hardness and how often you use the iron. For average use with moderately hard water, descaling every 1 to 3 months is a good practice to maintain optimal steam function.

Yes, you can use the Breville Super Steam Ceramic Iron for dry ironing. Simply ensure the water tank is empty and the steam function is set to 'Off' or 'No Steam' before selecting your desired temperature.

The 'steam shot' or 'burst of steam' feature (180g/min) is designed to provide an extra powerful blast of steam to quickly remove deep-set or stubborn creases from heavy fabrics, or to refresh hanging garments.

Always empty the water tank after use. Allow the iron to cool completely, then store it upright on its heel in a safe, dry place away from children.

Ensure the iron is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the temperature dial is set to a specific heat setting (not 'Off' or 'Min'). Allow sufficient time for the iron to reach the selected temperature.

This often occurs if the temperature is too low for steam generation. Ensure the iron is hot enough (usually at least the '••' or 'Wool' setting) before using steam. Also, avoid overfilling the water tank beyond the 'Max' line.

Check that the water tank is filled. Verify the temperature is set high enough for steam (steam function is usually disabled at lower temperatures to prevent dripping). Ensure steam vents are not blocked by mineral buildup – consider descaling.

This usually indicates the temperature setting is too high for the fabric type. Consult the garment's care label and adjust the temperature downwards. Ensure the soleplate is clean; residue can cause sticking.

This is typically caused by mineral buildup from hard water. Perform a thorough descaling process as outlined in the 'Care' section to clear the vents and prevent staining your garments.
