2. Getting started
2.1 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 immediately.
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.
2.2 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 (A1). (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Connecting the modular accessory plug
• 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 (C1). Push the
accessory onto the steam gun as far as necessary
for the release button (C2) on the steam gun to lock
into place (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2: Attaching accessories to the steam gun (C1)
• Use the extension tubes (D1) if required. Attach
one or both tubes (D1) onto the end of the steam
gun. Push the required accessory onto the free end
of the extension tube (D1).
• To detach the accessories, press the release
button (C2 or D2) and pull the items apart.
• The circular brush (E2) can be attached to the
spot nozzle (E1) to obtain better cleaning results.
Line up both grooves in the circular brush (E2) with
the lugs on the spot nozzle and turn the brush clock-
wise 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 acces-
sories while steam is being discharged –
danger of scalding!
2.3 Filling up with water
• Unscrew the safety cap (A2) on the main unit.
• Pour a maximum of 1.6 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
additives into the boiler.
• Screw the safety cap back onto the cleaner (A2).
2.4 Switching the cleaner ON
• Plug the cleaner into a mains socket.
Do not switch the cleaner on if there is no water
in the boiler, otherwise it could overheat. As a
safety measure, the cleaner’s heater switches
off automatically and the low-water warning
lamp (B7) illuminates. In order to be able to use
the cleaner again, wait approx. 10 minutes for
it to cool down and then fill the boiler with water
(see 2.6 “Filling up with water”).
• Switch both the steam supply switch (B3) and the
heater switch (B2) to ON.
The two indicator lamps integrated into the switches
(B4 and B6) should illuminate. When the orange
lamp for the heater (B5) goes out again, the cleaner is
ready for use.
Do not stand the cleaner upright while it is
switched on, otherwise it could overheat. As a
safety measure, the heater inside the cleaner is
switched off automatically and the low-water
warning lamp (B7) illuminates. In order to
render the cleaner available for use again,
position it horizontally. At the same time, the
safety cap could trigger momentarily and
release a shot of steam. After a short while, the
indicator lamp (B7) will go out again.
