When the Elmasteam is switched on, the pump automatically fills
the tank with the optimum quantity of water. As soon as the water
level in the tank goes below a certain filling level, the pump
automatically refills the tank up to the correct level. The filling
process is indicated by the yellow lamp “running” (
illustration 7.2
D).
When the maximum filling level of the tank is reached, the
green indicator lamp “maximum” is turned on (
illustration 7.2 E).
