Water quality
Use only fresh tap water.
Filtered tap water may also be used.
For water hardness of more than
2.5 mmol/l / 14°dH you can use tap
water mixed in 1:1 ratio with distilled
water. This halves the water hardness.
Set the halved water hardness to the
corresponding flash frequency.
Example:
Tap water with 10.8 mmol/l (60°dH) in a
1:1 mixture with distilled water results in
water hardness of 5.4 mmol/l (30°dH).
The corresponding flash frequency of
the
k
indicator light is 7 times,
according to the table (see "Setting the
water hardness level").
Do not use demineralised water
(e.g. distilled) on its own to fill the
water container. This can cause the
appliance to malfunction.
Do not use water from a water
softener. This can cause the
appliance to malfunction.
Do not use condensate, e.g. from
other appliances such as air
conditioning units, tumble dryers,
etc, or rain water.
Do not use any additives, e.g.
perfumes, ironing water, starch,
carbonated water, etc.
