3. Getting started
3.1 Unpacking the cleaner
While you are unpacking the cleaner, check
that all accessories have been included. If any
items are missing, please contact your dealer.
If you notice any damage that has been caused
in transit, please inform your dealer immedia-
tely.
Do not dispose of the packaging materials as
domestic refuse. They can be recovered for
use again. Take the packaging to an official
collection point for recycling.
3.2 Attaching the accessories
• Firmly insert the modular accessory plug
(C6) into the socket (A1) above the handle
on the main unit. Both lugs on the plug must
lock into the cover for the main unit socket.
• Attached the required accessory – spot
nozzle (E1), hand nozzle (F1) or floor nozzle
(G1) – to the steam gun (C1) by pushing the
tubular end of the accessory onto the steam
gun. Push the accessory onto the steam gun
as far as necessary for the release button
(C2) on the steam gun to lock into place.
• Use the extension tubes (D1) if required.
Attach one or both tubes onto the end of the
steam gun. Push the required accessory
onto the free end of the extension tube.
• To detach the accessories, press the release
button and pull the items apart.
• The circular brush (E2) can be attached to
the spot nozzle to obtain better cleaning
results.Line up both grooves in the circular
brush with the lugs on the spot nozzle and
turn the brush clockwise as far as it will go.
• To detach the circular brush from the spot
nozzle, turn the brush anti-clockwise and pull
it off the nozzle.
Hot water can drip out of accessories while
you are detaching them. Do not detach
accessories while steam is being discharged
– danger of scalding!
3.3 Filling up with water
• Unscrew the safety cap (A2) on the main
unit.
• Pour a maximum of 2 litres of tap water into
the boiler. With the cleaner standing on a
horizontal surface, the boiler can be filled up
to approx. 2 cm below the edge of the filler
neck. Heating-up time can be shortened by
using hot water.
Do not add pour any detergents or other ad-
ditives into the boiler.
• Screw the safety cap back onto the cleaner.
3.4 Switching the cleaner ON
Do not switch the cleaner on if there is no
water in the boiler, otherwise it could over-
heat. As a safety measure, the cleaner’s
heater switches off automatically and the
low-water warning lamp illuminates. In order
to be able to use the cleaner again, wait ap-
prox. 10 minutes for it to cool down and then
fill the boiler with water (see 3.3 “Filling up
with water”).
• Plug the cleaner into a mains socket. Switch
both the steam supply switch (A10) and the
heater switch (A9) to ON.
The indicator lamps (A5, A6, A7) should illu-
minate.
