Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale

appliance.

Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids,

chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your

appliance.
