fluid type in EnergyPlus

Hi! I want to make a plant loop consisting of [WaterHeater:Mixed] and [Boiler:Steam] At [PlnatLoop] class list, I entered 'Steam' at fluid type and then an error occurred. Error message said,
* Severe * Existing Fluid type for node, incorrect for request. Node=STEAM BOILER PLANT STEAM SUPPLY OUTLET NODE * ~~~ * Existing Fluid type=Steam, Requested Fluid Type=Water So I I entered 'Water' at fluid type and then an error occurred because of the similar reason. (fluid type is incorrect at [WaterHeater:Mixed] connected nodes.)

I think I need to make flude type which is water below 100 degree Celcius, and turn into steam above 100 degree Celcius at Group [FluidProperties]. Am I right? I've tried copy lists from [FluidPropertiesFefData.idf] but it didn't work. Help me if anybody knows how to solve this problem!!
