steam generator during regular use,
heat up time to reach the operating
temperature will be faster.

level sensor. The "reill water tank"
indicator lamp (12*) will light when
the water tank is empty.

(9) lights and steam is not released
when pressing the steam release
button (17-18*), reill the water tank.

To prolong the optimum steam
function, mix tap water with distilled

with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water
hardness with your local water
supplier.
• The water tank can be illed at any
time while using the appliance.

tion of the water tank and the boiler, do
not put perfume, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, additives or any
other type of chemical product into the
water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of
the aforementioned products, will
make the guarantee void.

tumble dryers, air conditioning
systems or similar. This appliance
has been designed to use normal tap
water.
