Philips HI 994 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

Filling with water (for steam-ironing, "Shot-of-
steam" and "Jet-of-steam")
• Please fill with normal tap water before using
for the first time. Maximum filling is 0.62 litre.
• Also use tap water to refill the tank. If the tap
water is very hard (over 10°DH), it is advisable
to mix it with demineralised or distilled water
(50% tap water and 50% demineralised or
distilled water).
• Never use perfumes, vinegar, descaling agents
or other chemicals.
• Do not use water from a water softener.
• During steam-ironing, the system will
automatically pump water from the water tank
into the steam tank.
