PREPARATION

What water may be used?

• Tap water:
Your appliance has been designed to use tap water. If
your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50%
bottled demineralised water. In some coastal areas, the
salt content of the water may be high. In such cases, use
only demineralised water.
• Water softener: There are several types of water
softeners available and most of them can be used in the
generator.
However, some softeners (especially those that use
chemicals such as salt) may cause white or brown
streaks. This is often the case when using water from
filtering jugs. If you experience this sort of problem, we
suggest you try using untreated tap water or bottled
water.
• NB: Never use rain water or water containing additives
(such as starch, fragrances or water from household
appliances).
These additives may affect the properties of the steam,
and together with high temperatures can cause deposits
to form in the steam chamber which could soil your
laundry.
Max.

Filling the water tank

• Place your steam generator on a stable, flat heat-
resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing
board to allow steam to pass through the garments
for better ironing results and also to prevent steam
venting sideways.
• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open the
flap on the tank.
• Put in untreated tap water up to the max mark.
