  What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to use untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% bottled demineralized water.

Do not use purely demineralized or pure distilled water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rainwater, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries, or air conditioners as these may damage the appliance. These types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking, or premature wear on your appliance. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled water (available in hardware stores). This water contains organic waste materials or minerals that concentrate under the effect of heat and cause spitting, brown coloring, or premature aging of your appliance.
