appliance.
Turning on the Appliance
• Connect the mains plug to a wall socket.
Do not turn on the appliance if there is no water
in the boiler. Otherwise, the appliance may
overheat. For reasons of safety, the appliance
automatically turns off the heating, the red low-
water indicator lamp (B5) lights up. Turn the
appliance off and fill the boiler with water to ensure
it is ready to work again (see "Refilling Water").
• Turn the appliance on using the switch (A4).
The heating indicator lamp (B3) must light up.
The full heating performance is only available if
the modular accessory plug (C6) is connected to

emitted. Direct the first burst of steam of the
steam gun (C1) at a separate piece of cloth
until the steam is emitted evenly.
• The heating of the steam cleaner is turned on in
regular intervals during the operation of the
appliance in order to maintain the pressure in the
boiler at a constant level. When the heating is turned
on, the yellow indicator lamp (B3) lights up.
