Preparations

The steam generator will take more
time to reach "Steam ready" state
only upon the initial heating up, or
after performing the de-scaling
operation (calc'nClean).
When water is already present in the
steam generator during regular use,
heat up time to reach the operating
temperature will be faster.

level sensor. The "refill water tank"
indicator (11) will light when the
water tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam
function, mix tap water with distilled
water 1:1. If the tap water in your
district is very hard, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water
hardness with your local water
supplier.
• The water tank can be filled at any
time while using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or
contamination 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.
• Do not use condensation water
from tumble dryers, air conditioning
systems or similar. This appliance
has been designed to use normal tap
