Filling of the unit - Filling by hand

For initial filling and for refilling after use of the tank water, use
the fulling funnel to fill tap water or distilled water.
Risk of scalding by hot steam!
1. Let the unit cool down before opening! Do not open above 0
bar pressure!
2. Turn the function switch to „steam outlet". Release the
remaining steam through the steam nozzle.
3. Slowly open the screw cap (the integrated pressure relief
system will release any remaining steam from the tank
when the screw cap is opened).
Switch off the unit (switch position "off").
Turn the screw cap on the unit top (illustraion 3.1) counter-
clockwise.
Insert the funnel (included in delivered equipment) in the filling
duct.
Risk of electrocution due to short circuit in the unit caused by
water entering the housing!
Fill the water carefully, avoid overfilling.
Keep the water from entering the ventilation slits in the unit
covers.
Fill in the water slowly! Ensure that only the required quantity is
filled (see section 3.6 Technical details, tank capacity). Any water
surplus is collected in the filling bead and must be wiped off.
Close the screw cap.
If any water has entered the unit, let it dry over a period of
several hours.
The allowed filling quantity of the tank cannot be exceeded due
to the integrated overflow. The surplus water flows into the filling
bead.

Automatic filling

(Option pump Aquamatic)
The pump automatically fills the tank with the optimum quantity of
water. There are no idle phases due to required cooling-down
phases as when filled by hand.
As soon as the water level in the tank goes below a certain level,
the pump automatically refills the tank up to the optimum level.
Connect the pump as described in section 4.6. Observe the
safety warnings to prevent damages on the pump.
