If There Is A Problem - Moulinex Virtuo Handbuch

EN • What water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water.
However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in
order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority), it
is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or
demineralised water in the following proportions:
- 50% untreated tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Types of water not to use?
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral
elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear
