Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use and when the 'water tank
empty' light flashes.
1 Remove the water tank from the steam generator.
2 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the MAX
indication.
3 Slide the water tank back into the steam generator until
it locks into place.
Do not use distilled water only, as it is slightly acidic and
may cause damage to your appliance.
Tip: Your appliance has been designed for use with tap water. If
you live in an area with very hard water, scale builds up quickly.
In this case it is recommended to use a mixture of 50% distilled
water and 50% tap water to prolong the life of your appliance.
