Types of water
• Soft water with low lime content -
the manufacturer recommends this
because it decreases the quantity of
cleaning procedures.
• Tap water - you can use it if your
domestic water supply has purifier or
water sweetener.
• Hard water with high lime content -
it does not have an effect on the
performance of the appliance but it
increases the quantity of cleaning
procedures.
