especially the one with chimical components, like salt, might occur white or brown runs. If you face this type of issue, we
recommand you to use non-treated tap water or bottled water.
• You should not use water from domestic appliances, with additives ( starch, perfume, etc.) , rain water, boiled, filtered,
bottled water. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water. Such water might affect steam attributes and at high
temperature generate steam chamber sediment, liable to stain your linen and provoque early appliance aging.
