using the appliance
- Make sure the water level in the water tank is above the MIN level at all times.
- To prevent the hose from forming a U-shape, always place the steamer on the floor to ensure
that the hose is straight. If you hear an excessive croaking sound or if the steam output is
irregular, lift the steamer head from time to time to straighten the hose. This allows any
condensation to flow back into the water tank (Fig. 3).
- When you use the steamer, steam condenses inside the hose. When the hose forms a U-shape,
this condensation cannot flow back into the water tank and causes a croaking sound and
irregular steam output. To prevent this as much as possible, always place the steamer on the
floor to ensure that the hose is straight. If you hear an excessive croaking sound or if the steam
output is irregular, lift the steamer head from time to time to straighten the hose. This allows any
condensation to flow back into the water tank (Fig. 4).
1 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket (Fig. 5).
2 Press the on/off button on top of the appliance to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6).
