PREPARATION FOR USE

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the
boiler with about 44 fl oz (1,3 L) of water using
the filler funnel (14) making sure that it does not
overflow (fig. 1). Normal tapwater can be used.
However, as hard water by its nature contains
limestone, which may cause a build-up of lime-
scale in the tank, in hard water areas we re-
commend the use of our natural-base decalci-
as a
with EU Directive
