The water to use in your steam generator :

Your steam generator has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However,

if your water is very hard, mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Types of water not to use :

Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water

listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised above.

•The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.

•When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal. If you are pressing on the steam control button at this time you may lose a little steam pressure momentarily.
