Type of water to use
• You can use normal tap water to fi ll the tank. Therefore, especially if your
tap water is very hard, we advise you to mix it with distilled water or use
distilled water only. We advise you to empty the water tank after use.
Do not add anything to the contents of the boiler and do not use water
from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries, air conditioners and rain water. These contain organic waste
or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause
brown staining or premature wear to the steam generator. Use of these
types of water will negate the guarantee provided with the product.

• In order to improve the effectiveness of steam and prolong the boiler life
of your product, you can reduce the formation of limescale by using the
household descale for cleaning steam generators SINGER CALC OUT
(follow directions on the packaging).
