ROWENTA DG 560 - Manual (Page 8)

Always remember:
Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch,
perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used. Such
additives can affect the properties of the steam and, at high
temperatures, can form deposits in the steam chamber, which
will mark the laundry when they are emitted through the
steam vents. Descaling liquids/agents should not be used.
