Setting the water hardness

ATTENTION

Device damage due to calcification

Without a decalcification cartridge, the device may cal-

cify if the water hardness is set incorrectly.

Always work with a decalcification cartridge.

Set the device to the local water hardness.

Set the device to the current water hardness before us-

ing it in an area with a different water hardness (e.g. af-

ter a move).

Note

Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro-

vide information on hardness of tap water.

The water hardness is set using the RESET button. The

water hardness setting is stored until a new setting (e.g.

after a move) is made. The device is set to the highest

water hardness (level IV) in the factory. The device indi-

cates the set water hardness with flash pulses.

Water hardness levels and flash pulses

Note

The anti-calcification effect of the decalcification car-

tridge is activated as soon as the reservoir is filled with

water and the device is put into operation. Lime in the

water is absorbed by the granulate in the decalcification

cartridge. Additional descaling is not required.

Note

The granulate in the cartridge can discolour on contact

with water due to the mineral content in the water, which

is no cause for concern and has no negative effects on

the device, cleaning work or the functionality of the car-

tridge.

Note

Do not pause for longer than 15 seconds when setting

as the device will otherwise be set automatically to the

last selected water hardness or the highest water hard-

ness set during initial start-up.

1. Connect the mains plug.

2. Make sure that the device is switched off.

3. Hold the RESET button pressed and switch on the

device.

Illustration Q

After approximately 2 seconds, the indicator light

flashes and signals the current water hardness set-

ting with the number of pulses.

4. Release the RESET key.

The device is set to water hardness level IV at the

factory and the indicator light therefore flashes 4

times in succession.

5. You can cycle between the different water hardness

levels by pressing the RESET button repeatedly un-

til the desired water hardness level is reached.

6. Once the desired water hardness level has been

reached, press and hold the RESET button for 3

seconds to store the selected water hardness level.

The indicator light for the water hardness lights up to

confirm saving.

Care of accessories

(Accessories - depending on scope of delivery)

Note

The micro fibre cloths are not suitable for dryer.

Note

Observe the instructions on the washing tag when

washing the cloths. Do not use any liquid softeners as

this will affect the ability of the cloths to pick up dirt.

1. Wash the floor cleaning cloths in a washing machine

at a max. temperature of 60 °C.

Removing the handle

ATTENTION

Device damage

The handle components can be damaged by repeated

removal.

Do not remove the handle from the basic unit once it has

been assembled.

The handle may only be removed from the basic device

if the device is sent out for service purposes.

Troubleshooting guide

Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can

remedy yourself using the following overview. When in

doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not mentioned

here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.

몇WARNING

Risk of electric shock and burns

Trying to eliminate faults while the appliance is connect-

ed to the mains or has not yet cooled down is always

dangerous.

Remove the mains plug.

Allow the appliance to cool down.

No steam / little steam although there is water in the

reservoir

The decalcification cartridge has not been inserted or

has been inserted incorrectly.

 Fit the decalcification cartridge and/or check that

the decalcification cartridge sits tightly in the reser-

voir and press in again if necessary.

The decalcification cartridge has been removed when

filling with water and/or a new decalcification cartridge

has been fitted

Always leave the decalcification cartridge in the wa-

ter reservoir when filling with water.

Press and hold the steam lever constantly.

The full steam output is reached after approximately

30 seconds.

The red "Replace decalcification cartridge" indica-

tor light flashes but the device still functions cor-

rectly

Run time of the decalcification cartridge ends soon.

Fit a new decalcification cartridge, see chapter Re-

placing the decalcification cartridge.

No steam despite sufficient water in the reservoir,

the indicator light and LED operating indicator on

the device light up continuously red, the floor cov-

ering symbols on the handle do not light up

Run time for the decalcification cartridge has expired

Fit a new decalcification cartridge, see chapter Re-

placing the decalcification cartridge.

If a new decalcification cartridge has already been

fitted and this fault still occurs, the RESET button

has probably not been pressed after replacing the

decalcification cartridge. Press and hold the RESET

button for 4 seconds after inserting the decalcifica-

tion cartridge, see chapter Replacing the decalcifi-

cation cartridge.
