Preparing the appliance
• Open the filling nozzle (7) of the water tank (Fig. 1).
• Fill approx. 0.5 litre water into the water tank. You
can use the measuring cup (Fig. K).
Note: You can use normal tap water. As water
naturally contains calcium that can lead to the formation
of deposits in the boiler, we recommend the use of a
mixture consisting of 50% tap water and 50% distilled
water.
• Close the filling nozzle of the water reservoir (7).
Note:
Water is automatically supplied from the water
reservoir to the steam boiler. The water reservoir must
be filled up twice before commissioning the machine for
the first time.
Filling the water reservoir
Filling the water filter container
• Lift the handle (18) of the water filter container (Fig.
2) and remove the water filter container (17) (Fig. 3).
• Turn the handle (18) of the water filter container and
remove the water filter inlay (19) (Fig. 4).
• Fill the water filter container (17) with tap water till the
water level marking MAX H2O is covered (Fig. 5).
• Add a cap full of foam stop to the water filter container.
Note:
The functioning of the vacuum cleaner is based
on the whirling of the suction air in the water filter. In the
process, sucked-in materials and deposits of cleaning
agents from floors get collected in the water bath. This
can sometimes lead to the formation of foam. It is
necessary to add the foam stop liquid to the water filter
bath to avoid this situation. The foam stop liquid is
environment friendly and fully bio-degradable. Slight
foam formation is normal and does not hamper the
functioning of the machine.
• Insert the water filter inlay (19) back into the water
container (17).
The packaging material can be recycled.
Please do not place the packaging into the
ordinary refuse for disposal, but arrange
for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable materials
that can be recycled. Please arrange for the
proper recycling of old appliances. Please
dispose of your old appliances using
appropriate collection systems.
