If hard water is used, the mineral content of
the water will form deposits on the inside of
the boiler of the appliance and may
obstruct the flow of steam.  
• Be careful not to let water come in contact
with the nozzle, cosmetic ring, main panel,
and switch.
• Dispose any leftover water in the water
supply cup.
