If I only use the drying function, do I still need to add 100ml of water to the base plate?

I believe it may not be good for the heat plate if you don't add the water.

No you don't. At least I don't. I don't have the manual anymore but I've never added any water unless it is to sterilize. I've had it for over 4 months and it is still working fine.

Yes, IF you prep the area - clean, no corrosion, dry - AND don't introduce water until the specified dry/set time.

If your counter top only has a single hole faucet cutout you don't need the base plate. If it has more than one hole, I assume the baseplate is for covering the ones you don't need for the installation of this faucet.

I use warm water and dawn foaming dish liquid. A mild scrubber is all it takes. Towel dry do not let drip dry. You should be ok after that.

I used mine in several different directions, and it worked very well. In fact, I just bought a second one. I used mine dry the first time, and then tried a little bit of water. It worked well both dry and damp. Perhaps the manufacturer can answer your question. I found them very easy to communicate with.

No, you do not need to add water. If you hair is wet, the plates get plenty warm to produce steam.

I don't know if it is necessary but we do it as a matter of course. It is so easy to do...we just run hot water in it (keeping the fan dry) and then wipe it out before adding the night's water. This is a great product!

I was confused too, but I believe you add water to activate it. However I believe that you don't want to do it until you're ready to use it.

No need to add water. Just use it like any other dish washing soap but just less of it.

Yes, you only use water for the steam. Do not put any type of cleaning product in the tank. It will mess up your machine. I spray a cleaning product on my baseboards let it set and then hit it with the steam.

No...it is all one piece with the cannister. I just add dish soap and water and clean it after use, without submerging the base. It's warm, so it dries fast.

Yes! I tried using the sponge dry and the application didn't work. Once I wet the sponge, squeezed out te excess water until damp, it was perfect.

No it does not. The model S1000 has drying but it is not very effective from reading the reviews.

I plan to use delicate, hot water, bleach and soap, no softener, drip dry. I don't know manufacturer instructions.

I just put it into the base with the water. Make sure to clean and dry it well if not using for while. I used mine for a week, put it away for a month, and it stopped working when I brought it back out again. Good luck!

I would not add water to the kinetic sand. I have not experienced it drying out. If it feels dry to you, just work it in your hand and it will come back to its original texture.

No, there's no water needed. Much easier to use than chafing dishes with Sterno!
