Filling with water

You must only use water to ll your steamer. To accelerate the warm up period, you can
use hot (not boiling) water. You can ll your steamer in one of two ways:

A At step 1 of assembly, use a jug and pour water directly into the reservoir. Make sure

the water level is not below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark.

B Using a jug, pour water through the lling aperture in the drip tray. Using the water

gauge on the side of your steamer, make sure the water level is not below the MIN
mark or above the MAX mark. This method is used during steaming to keep the
water level topped up as required.
