So-called plasticizers are able to modify the water surface tension in the
steam generator water tank.This can lead to strong foaming, so that the
hot water may come out of the steam outlet. Furthermore this can lead
to incorrect water level detection and overheating errors.
Please ensure that the water supply is clear of plasticizers or similar sub-
stances.
Plasticizers and similar substance are, among others, oils (e.g. essenc-
es), detergents, lubricants or specic chemicals contained in plastics like
PVC. It must be ensures that the water supply line does not use any ma-
terials which may contain plasticizers.
!ATTENTION
In areas with hard water (over 5° dH), it is recommended to install a water
softener to remove lime or a system for automatic descaling.
The softener must not be foam-forming or contain harmful chemicals. This is
especially advisable in public areas.
