Instructions for use
Brown's technique is intuitive. Before connecting to the network, you need to fill the tank with water.
The memo says that Flowing water from the tap is suitable, but it is better, of course, to use distilled or 50/50so that descaling is required as little as possible.
The steam generator will turn itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity, but still you should not leave it plugged in. It is not difficult to operate; on the contrary, it makes ironing easier.
Descaling
If scale occurs, use the self-cleaning function. If this does not help or the model does not provide for self-cleaning, then use folk remedies:
- citric acid,
- vinegar solution,
- mineral water.
