an area with hard water, we recommend that you mix an equal amount of tap
water with distilled or demineralized water.This will prevent fast scale build
up and prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar,
starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other
chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your
appliance.
