Tank for DELONGHI steam irons
The water tank stores the water for your appliance. .In most cases it is best to fill the tank with demineralised water This part is essential to the steam iron: this tank will supply water to a pressurised tank, which will in turn make the iron work. Usually detachable, the tank provides unlimited autonomy when ironing, as it can be re-filled during use (without having to switch off the steam iron). Its task is thus to store the water until such a time as it is pumped and converted into steam!
This tank may oxidise, leak water or deteriorate. In such cases, you must replace it.
If water leaks from the tank, it will undoubtedly have a crack or hole in it. Check this by detaching the tank if it can be disconnected, or inspect the part directly at the ironing system.
If the leak is the result of damage suffered by the tank, replace it.
Note: water can also leak from the tank because it is overfilled. Generally speaking, a maximum level indicator will allow you to monitor this. If the water level inside the tank exceeds this threshold, drain off some of the water!
