Switching on the device
Note
If there is no or too little water in the steam boiler, the
water pump starts to run and pumps water from the wa-
ter reservoir into the steam boiler. The filling process
can take several minutes.
Note
The device briefly closes the valve every 60 seconds
causing an audible soft click. Closing prevents the valve
from clogging. This does not affect the steam output.
1. Place the device on a firm surface.
2. Insert the mains plug into a socket.

Regulating the steam volume
The expelled steam volume is regulated using the se-
lector switch for steam volume. The selector switch has
5 steam stages for varying types of soiling.
● Steam stage 1
–
For light soiling, e.g. dust
–
For objects and surfaces, e.g. plants, sensitive,
painted or coated surfaces
● Steam stage 2
–
For light to moderate soiling, e.g. finger marks,
dust, food remnants, raindrops, toothpaste
splashes
–
For objects and surfaces, e.g. closed heaters,
mirrors, windows, plastic/metal surfaces
● Steam stage 3
–
For moderate to heavy soiling, e.g. light grease
residues, finger marks, fly droppings, food or
toothpaste splashes
–
For objects and surfaces, e.g. kitchen and bath-
room surfaces, windows, ceramic hobs, wall tiles,
tiled floors, PVC, linoleum
● Steam stage 4
–
For heavy soiling, e.g. older food encrustations,
detergent residues, superficial lime residue, stub-
born grease residues, dried on water marks,
soap residue
–
For objects and surfaces, e.g. tiled floors, PVC, li-
noleum, wall tiles, tile grout, sinks, shower trays,
bath tubs, bathroom fittings
● Steam stage 5 - VapoHydro function
–
For areas with an irregular surface, areas with
nooks and crannies that can be sprayed with wa-
ter, e.g. stubborn encrustations, dirt that has col-
lected in the corners and gaps, soap residue,
superficial lime residue
–
For objects and surfaces, e.g. bathroom fittings,
inner window frames (not wooden frames), bath-
room shelves, cooker hobs, shower cubicles,
drains
1. Set the selector switch for the steam volume to re-
quired steam volume.
2. Press the steam lever.
3. Before starting cleaning, point the steam gun at a
cloth until steam is expelled evenly.
If there is not enough water, the water shortage indicator
lamp flashes red and a signal tone sounds.

The water pump fills the steam boiler at intervals. If the
filling is successful, the red water shortage indicator
lamp goes out.
Note
If there is no or too little water in the steam boiler, the
water pump starts to run and pumps water from the wa-
ter reservoir into the steam boiler. The filling process
can take several minutes.
