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.
