Steam Generator Iron

Hi folks,

Firstly i apologise if this is a stupid question (i'm blonde u know) but i have recently purchased a Tefal s/g iron Express model and i luv it, but my question is should i be emptying the tank every time i have used it?

I doesn't seem to mention it in the handbook apart from the rinsing out after every 10 uses.

I don't want to ruin it, but it seems like a waste of water if i empty it every time.


Cheers :beer:

    I've got one of those, I don't empty mine every time and it's fine, though I never fill it more than halfway :)

    I 've got one, wife never empties it but the water evaporates by the time she gets around to do the ironing again.

    my mum always said you should should empty the water out out to stop rust (maybe not such a problem nowadays) and limescale building up inside the iron.
