Should the mains water at your locality be rated as hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast function could calcify (become blocked) prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table.
local water | Ratios - distilled |
hardness | water to mains water |
very soft / soft | 0 |
|
|
medium | 1: 1 |
|
|
hard | 2: 1 |
