Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What type of water should I use in the Enviromate E5?

For soft to medium-hard water, regular tap water is suitable. For hard or very hard water, it's recommended to mix tap water with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio to prevent mineral buildup. 

Q2: How do I clean and maintain the E5?

Regular maintenance includes descaling the boiler once or twice a year, depending on water hardness. Always ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged before performing maintenance tasks. 

Q3: Can the E5 be used on carpets?

Yes, the E5 is effective for spot cleaning carpets and rugs. Utilize the carpet sole plate and appropriate cloths to avoid damaging delicate fibers. It's important to note that the E5 is not an extraction cleaner, so multiple passes may be necessary for optimal results.

Q4: Is the E5 suitable for commercial use?

While primarily designed for residential use, the E5's robust construction and performance make it suitable for light commercial applications, such as small businesses or offices.
