2. PREPARING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant work surface.
2. Remove the water tank by pulling the handles upwards (1).
3. Fill the water tank taking care not to exceed the maximum level (2).
4. Replace it pushing firmly down in its housing (3).
The water to use in your steam generator :
Your steam generator has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However,
if your water is very hard, mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised
water.
Types of water not to use :
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water
listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered
or bottled water. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised above.
• The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful.
They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into
the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam
valve opening. Again this is normal. If you are pressing on the steam control button at this time you may
lose a little steam pressure momentarily.
3 • USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed
socket (4).
2. Press on the on / off switch (located on the front of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on
the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be
produced which is indicated when the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (5).
