Your appliance has been designed to use untreated tap water.
Do not use pure demineralised or pure distilled water, water from clothes
dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, 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 colouring or
premature ageing of your appliance.
Environment protection first !
