Cleaning of coated or painted surfaces
Wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings or paint can come
off or stains may occur when cleaning painted or plastic-
coated surfaces such as e.g. kitchen and living room
furniture, doors, parquet or linoleum. To clean these sur-
faces, steam a cloth briefly and wipe it over the surfac-
es.
Glass cleaner
Preheat the window pane in seasons with particularly
low temperatures. To do this, lightly steam the entire
glass surface at a distance of approx. 50 cm. This
avoids tension on the surface that can lead to glass
breakage.
Initial startup
Installing accessories
1. Open the cover of the device socket and plug the
steam connector tightly into the device. The lugs of
the plug must latch on the cover of the device sock-
et.
2. Connect the accessory (floor nozzle, manual nozzle
or spotlight nozzle) to the steam gun. Push the parts
together until the locking button on the steam gun
engages.
3. Use extension tubes if necessary. Push the parts to-
gether until the respective locking button engages.
4. Press the locking button to separate the accessories.
Filling water
Note
Distilled water (no limescale formation) can be used but
this leads to faster wear of the boiler and is thus not rec-
ommended.
1. Check that the safety lock is seated tightly.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap from the fresh water tank.
3. Insert the filler funnel into the fresh water tank and
turn it to latch it in place.
4. Pour approximately 2 litres of tap water into the
fresh water tank.
Do not use detergents!
5. Unlock and remove the filler funnel.
6. Screw the reservoir cap onto the fresh water tank.
Operation
Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator shows if the correct temper-
ature range is being used (working temperature range).
Switching on the device
●
The heating switches on periodically during use (in-
dicator light lights up yellow) to maintain the pres-
sure in the boiler.
●
If the device is switched on without water, the "Heat-
ing" indicator light lights up yellow until the water
shortage thermostat switches the heating off. The
"Steam boiler water shortage" indicator light then
lights up red.
1. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
2. Switch on the unit with the fresh water tank pump
switch and the heating switch. The indicator lights
light up.
Note
The full heating capacity is only available if the steam
connector is connected to the device when it is heating
up. The system is ready for operation when the "Heat-
ing" indicator light goes out.
Note
Do not stand the device upright when it is switched on.
Otherwise the heating switches off automatically after a
short time and the "Steam boiler water shortage" indica-
tor light lights up red.
3. Switch off the heating at the switch when transport-
ing the device.
4. Press the steam switch, steam comes out. Always
point the steam gun at a cloth first until the steam
flows out evenly.
Steam quantity regulation
Note
If the steam quantity regulation is set to a small quantity,
steam may still escape briefly after releasing the steam
switch until the pressure in the steam hose is released.
This pressure can also be released more quickly by set-
ting the steam quantity regulation to large quantity for a
short time.
1. Adjust the steam quantity using the rotary knob on
the device when working with standard accessories.
VAPOHYDRO regulation with rotary knob
●
In wet areas, the dirt can also be washed away in-
stead of being picked up with the cloth. For this, ad-
just the moisture content of the steam using the
VAPOHYDRO regulation rotary knob. The higher
the moisture content of the steam, i.e. the steam jet
contains more water, the greater the flushing effect.
The rinsing effect is greatest when the rotary knob is
turned anticlockwise to the largest amount (+) so
that a hot water jet is emitted.
●
We recommend using the VAPOHYDRO in conjunc-
tion with the spotlight nozzle for e.g. cleaning in the
bathroom.
●
Turn the rotary knob of the VAPOHYDRO regulation
clockwise to the smallest quantity (-) when working
with cloths (floor nozzle, manual nozzle) to provide
as little moisture as possible in the steam jet. This
improves the dirt-dissolving power of the steam.
Note
The boiler empties more quickly when the rotary knob of
the VAPOHYDRO regulation is turned anticlockwise to
the largest quantity (+).
Refilling water
Note
An acoustic signal sounds and the "fresh water tank wa-
ter shortage" indicator light lights up red when the water
in the fresh water tank is used up.
Note
If the pump does not deliver water despite a full fresh
water tank, the boiler must be descaled.
1. Fill a maximum off 2 litres of tap water into the fresh
water tank using the filler funnel. The "Fresh water
tank water shortage" indicator light goes out. The
system is ready for operation when the "Heating" in-
dicator light goes out.
Disconnecting accessories
DANGER
Danger from hot water
Risk of scalding
Never disconnect accessories while steam is being re-
leased as hot water may drip out. Allow the device to
cool down first.
