Hello Mia,
Russell Hobbs 23970 Speedglide PRO Steam Iron:
Yes. The Russell Hobbs Speedglide PRO can be used as a dry iron with the steam switched off. This is also recommended for delicate fabrics such as silk, using the lowest heat setting and following the garment's care label.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hello Abbo,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs 23970 Speedglide PRO Steam Iron: ''Please be advised that iron should be on the highest temperature setting for steam to come out.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello Mason,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs 23970 Speedglide PRO Steam Iron: silk can be ironed, but it should always be done with care. We recommend using the lowest heat setting (one dot) and avoiding the steam function when ironing silk.
For best results, the garment should be slightly damp or ironed using a pressing cloth placed between the iron and the fabric to prevent shine or damage.
It’s also a good idea to test the iron on a small, inconspicuous area first and to always follow the care label instructions on the garment.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi Wenny,

Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Theresa
Most of the holes are covered so as not to burn porridge when ironing it.
Hello Theresa,
The supplier has advised the following for the Russell Hobbs Speedglide PRO Steam Iron:
“ The most of the holes are closed on the sole plate because that is the design used for this model. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Mine came covered with a porridge-like substance that just pealed off.
Hi there,
Having checked, the soleplate has a piece of cardboard covering it in the box, for protection. The card just pulls away.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi There,
Russell Hobbs Speedglide PRO Steam Iron 23970
I can confirm you are are able to see the water during filling.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Yes
Hi Shaz,
Our supplier has advised, you may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for using Q&A
Can use tap water, but generally better to use distilled or bottled water to prolong life.
