Illustration
The water reservoir may be refilled at any time.
ATTENTION
Do not use condensation water from the drier!
Do not fill with detergent or other additives (for example
fragrances)!
Do not use pure distilled water! Max. 50% distilled water
and 50% tap water.
Do not use collected rain water!
You can remove the water reservoir to fill it or you can
fill it directly on the appliance.
Pull the water reservoir straight up.
Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX" marking
while positioned vertically under the water tap.
Insert the water reservoir and press downwards un-
til it arrests.
Pour water from a container into the funnel inlet. Fill
up to the "MAX" marking.
Place the unit securely on a firm surface.
Insert the mains plug into a socket.
Rotate the selector switch to one of the steam lev-
els from the OFF position.
Display - steam gun lights up green.
Display - steam level lights up white and/or Vapo-
Hydro level lights up red.
Display - heater blinks green.
Once the indicator lamp (heater) lights up perma-
nently, the steam cleaner is ready to use.
Notes
If there is no or not enough water in the steam boil-
er, the water pump starts and supplies water from
the reservoir into the steam boiler. The filling pro-
cess may take several minutes.
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 de-
livery is not impaired by this.
In case of water shortage, the water shortage display
lights up red and a signal can be heard.
Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX" marking.
Notes
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 wa-
ter reservoir is empty, the water pump is not able to
fill the steam boiler and the steam tapping is
blocked.
The water pump tries to fill the steam boiler in short
intervals. If the filling process is successful, the red
indicator lamp goes off.
The emerging steam is regulated by a selector switch.
This selector switch offers five settings for different
grades of contamination. The following shows applica-
tion examples for the steam levels, types of contamina-
tion and objects:
Light contaminations, i.e.:
–
Dust
Objects / surfaces, for example:
–
Plants, sensitive, painted or coated surfaces
Light to medium contamination or fresh contamination,
i.e.:
–
Finger prints, dust, food residue, raindrops, tooth-
paste traces
Objects / surfaces, for example:
–
enclosed heaters, mirrors, windows, plastic/metal
surfaces
Medium to strong contamination or older, crusted con-
tamination, i.e.:
–
slight grease layer, finger prints, fly feces, spray
from food or toothpaste
Objects / surfaces, for example:
–
Surfaces in kitchen, bathroom, window, ceran
stove top, wall tiles, tiled floors, PVC, linoleum
Heavy contamination, i.e.:
–
old crusted food residue, detergent residue, light
lime scale, heavy grease layer, dried water spots,
soap scum
Objects / surfaces, for example:
–
Tiled floors, PVC, linoleum, wall tiles, grout be-
tween tiles, sink, shower tub, bath tub,
Jagged, angled areas that can be sprayed with water,
such as:
–
hard crusts, dirt that has settled in grout and cor-
ners, soap scum, light lime scale
Objects / surfaces, for example:
–
Bathroom fixtures, interior window frames (not
wooden frames), bathroom shelves, stove burners,
shower stalls, drains
Set selector switch to the required steam volume.
While operating the steam switch, always direct the
steam gun at a separate piece of cloth until the
steam is emitted evenly.
