Turning on the Appliance
 Place the unit securely on a firm sur-
face.
 Insert the mains plug into a socket.
 Press the ON switch to turn on the ap-
pliance.
Note: If there is no or not enough water in
the steam boiler, the water pump starts and
supplies water from the reservoir into the
steam boiler. The filling process may take
several minutes.
 Wait until the indicator lamp (heater)
lights up permanently.
The steam cleaner is ready to use.
Note: The appliance briefly closes the
valve every 60 seconds. This will prevent
the valve from sticking. There will be a
slight audible click. The steam delivery is
not impaired by this.
Refilling Water
In case of water shortage, the indicator
lamp "water shortage" glows red in the wa-
ter reservoir and a signal can be heard.
Note: Every time there is not enough water
in the steam boiler, the pump automatically
supplies water from the water reservoir into
the steam boiler. If the water reservoir is
empty, the water pump is not able to fill the
steam boiler and the steam tapping is
blocked.
 Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX"
marking.
Note: The water pump tries to fill the steam
boiler in short intervals. If the filling is suc-
cessful, the steam tapping is released im-
mediately, and the red indicator lamp goes
out.
Adjusting the Steam Quantity
Use the selector switch for the steam vol-
ume to regulate the discharged steam. The
selector switch has three positions:
Maximum steam volume
Reduced steam volume
No steam - child protection
Note: In this lever position, the steam
lever cannot be used.
 Set selector switch to the required
steam volume.
 While operating the steam switch, al-
ways direct the steam gun at a separate
piece of cloth until the steam is emitted
evenly.

pliance.
