This can affect performance and, with time, could result in blockages that could stop the product working. To prevent this possibility, we strongly recommend using distilled/de-ionised water in this steam cleaner. This is especially important in hard water areas. • Distilled/de-ionised water should be obtainable from most large supermarkets. • If distilled/de-ionised water is not used, then after approximately each ten uses, the boiler and steam outlet must be cleaned as described on page 7. Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.
