TYPES OF WATER
You can use: Tap water, distilled water for irons, water produced
by a condenser tumble drier provided that it is filtered (through a
coffee filter).
Do not use : Rain water, water from the fridge, water from any
evaporating appliance. For appliance with EMC system, water
supplied by your water softener if it is indicating the need for
regenerating salts (incompatibility with the EMC system).
Choosing your water
You can use either tap water or distilled water for irons. Depending
upon the calcium level contained in your tap water as well as upon
your weekly ironing time (average time : 2/3 hours), it can be more
economical to use distilled water for irons (not for car batteries).
In this case, your cartridge should last up to 1 year (depending
on the volume of your ironing and on the quantity of steam you
ask for).
A. Dip the strip 1 second into tap water. Ventilate the strip for a few
seconds and wait for the result approximately 1 minute.
Recommendation
B 1 or 1 1/2 mauve square : you can use tap water
C. 2 or more mauve squares : we advise you to use distilled water
for irons.
In order to ensure long life to your appliance, and
prolong the lifetime of the anti-scale cartridge,
we advise you to mix 300ml tap and 700ml
demineralised water.
TIPS
Noise
To ensure regular steam output performance, your unit is equipped
with an injection pump which is activated each time you lower the
handle in the half closed steam position. It is louder when:
1) the water tank is empty
2) the unit is used for the first time
3) the anti-calc cartridge has just been changed.
The pump can be heard humming during normal use.
