Note:
Should the mains water at your locality be rated as
hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the
steam blast function could calcify (become blocked)
prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix
mains water with distilled water according to the
table.
The water hardness level can be queried at your
local water works.
