STEAM GENERATOR:
We strongly recommend using demineralized/distilled water to insure optimum performance and maximize the life of your steam generator.
If you are using demineralized/distilled water, the steam generator should be cleaned once every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency and duration of usage. If you use regular tap water, the steam generator should be cleaned once a month.
