I use distilled water (after tap water ruined former iron) I do not empty it, usually i use up all the water, but, now will start to empty. It is a Sunbeam Steam Master. think I will read the booklet. I know distilled water is better, I have a steamer to clean the shower, stove, what ever you want to clean and my old one was built up with deposits from reg. tap water.. live and learn :oops:

Ok you ladies have convinced me. Just ran down to my sewing room and emptied my Euro Steam. I do use bottled water as we have very hard water here. Have had this iron for 8 years and never a problem although the instructions did say to empty after every use.

Do you empty the water from your iron after each quilting session?
Does anyone out there know why you should do this?

I always do because we have hard water and I don't want those minerals baking onto the inside of my iron. If you mfg. recommends draining it they must have a good reason and I'd follow it. Irons aren't cheap anymore.
