Unscrew the patented safety cap (1) and fill the boiler with about 1. 3 litres of water using the special funnel (6) making sure that it does not overflow (fig. 2). However, as hard water by its nature contains limestone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our naturalbase decalcifier KALSTOP FP 2003. Make sure the patented safety cap (1) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap.
