• WHAT KIND OF WATER IS SUITABLE?
o
Tap Water
▪
The manufacturer recommends operating the appliance using tap water with a
total hardness of less than 17° German hardness (°dH, deutsche Härte). Call your
local water utilities service for information on the water hardness degree. Should
your area have extremely hard tap water, for the sake of your laundry, we rec-
ommend adding boiled or distilled water to the tap water at a ratio of 1:1.
o
Distilled Water
▪
Please take into consideration that exclusively using distilled water could impede
the generation of steam. Water droplets could then drip out of the soleplate.
Distilled water should either be mixed with tap water at a ratio of 1:1, or you
should occasionally only use tap water 3 to 4 times.
• WHAT KIND OF WATER IS NOT SUITABLE?
o
Water with Additives
▪
Under no circumstances may starch, fabric softeners, perfume and finishing
agents be added, residues will build up in the steam chamber, which could dam-
age the appliance and dirty your laundry.
o
Mineral Water
▪
The carbonic acids in mineral water will cause degradation in the special steam
chamber.
o
Rain or Pond Water
▪
The so-called biofouling contaminates the water, which in turn obstructs the wa-
ter flow.
o
Condensation Water from the Refrigerator or Dryer
▪
This type of water can contain foreign bodies. The water flow will also be im-
peded.
o
Battery Water
▪
Battery water available at petrol stations is not to be recommended, as even the
slightest acid content will damage the iron.
o
Water from Water Softening Systems
▪
Water softening systems extract calcium from water, but add other substances
to the water, which renders this water inappropriate for steam irons.
