You cannot continuously use this iron without placing it on the Power Base. TIPS AND HINTS BEFORE USING YOUR IRON 1. Most ordinary tap water can be used in this iron. However, in extremely hard water areas, distilled or demineralized water should be used. Do not use water processed through home water softening systems, since this water contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron. 2. it is best to start ironing with garments which require lower temperature settings. Wrong temperature setting may damage the fabric. If you are not sure of the fabric content, try the temperature of the iron on a hidden area of the garment. 3. Before ironing, sort the garments according to the different heat settings required. Do not touch plastic buttons with a hot iron, as this may damage the buttons. Caution is also required when ironing around zippers and similar items which might scratch the Soleplate.
