Descaling the vaporizer unit
In order to keep your Turkish bath in perfect con-
dition, the boiler of the vaporizer unit should be
de-scaled at intervals of about 6 - 7 hours of op-
minutes (with no occupant) in order to eliminate
any scale residue.
In hard-water areas, it is advisable to use a
solution of water and vinegar or, alternatively,
one of the de-scaling products commonly used
for steam irons or coffee-makers. Follow the
instructions and concentrations recommended
by the manufacturer of the product used.

Dispenser for herbal essences
(VP version only)
Your Turkish bath can become even more en-
joyable and refreshing simply by placing oil or
vegetable essences in the special dispenser, thus
enriching the steam. In this way, you can benefi t
from the health-giving biological properties of the
various aromas.
Important: Only completely natural essences
should be used. Never use chemical products
containing alcohols (propenol, benzyl alcohol,
ehtyl alcohol or methyl alcohol).
If the herbal essence is in the form of a dry extract,
simply place it in the drawer of the dispenser. To
improve the effect of the essence, it should be
ground into small pieces so that it is distributed
more effi ciently by the steam.
If an oil-based essence is used, simply place a
few drops on a piece of cotton wool and place
the cotton wool in the dispenser drawer.
At this point, you are ready to enjoy the gentle,
benefi cial effect of a delicately-perfumed steam
bath.
If, during the Turkish bath cycle, you notice that
the steam contains an excessive concentration
of the herbal essence, pull out the drawer of the
dispenser (as shown in the fi gure opposite) so
that the steam passes directly into the shower
box rather than through the essence.
Care should be taken when using the steam
outlet. Since the steam is at a very high tem-
perature, always maintain a safe distance
from the steam outlet.
