Water quality
Use only fresh tap water in the
appliance.
You may also use water that has been
prepared with commerical water filters.
With a water hardness level of 14 °dH
(AU/NZ 2.5 mmol/l) or higher, you may
mix tap water with commerically
distilled water at a ratio of 1:1.
This will halve the water hardness level.
You need to set the appropriate LED
flashing rhythm for the halved water
hardness level.
Example:
Mains tap water with a water hardness
level of 60 °dH (10.8 mmol/l) has a level
of 30 °dH (5.4 mmol/l) when mixed at a
ratio of 1:1.
According to the water hardness chart,
the flashing rhythm of the indicator light
k
is 7x (see 'Setting the water hardness
level').
Do not use distilled water only to fill
the water container. This could result
in damage to the steam ironing
system.
Do not use water from water softener
systems. This could result in
damage to the steam ironing
system.
Do not use condensed water, e.g.
from other appliances such as an
air-conditioner, tumble dryer etc., or
rain water.
Do not use water containing
additives, e.g. fragrances, starch
etc., or carbonated water.
