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 water.
Types of water to be avoided :
Do not add anything to the contents of the removable water tank, and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented water, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioners or rain water. Also do not use filtered, boiled or bottled mineral water.

•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.
