Red Dye Steamer Problem

One of my steamers quit emitting steam. It was running and heating but no steam. I presumed that the thing was limed up so I filled the reservour 1/2 full with white vinegar and turned it on. Within a few minutes, the problem was solved. Afterwards, I ran some distilled water through it to get rid of the smell. I have made the mistake of using regualr tap water which I’m sure caused the problem. From now on . . . distilled water just like the instructions say!
