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 use water from clothes dryers, scented water, water from refrigerators or air conditio-
ners, rain water.
These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and
cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to the appliance.
3 • USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed
socket (4).
2. Press on the on / off switch (located on the front of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on
the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be
produced which is indicated when the green "steam ready" light stops flashing (5).

• 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.
