Filling the Water Reservoir

Caution

• Always pull out the mains plug and allow the device to cool down completely before you
  open the water reservoir. Otherwise there could be an uncontrolled emission of steam.

• Do not overfill the water reservoir. Pour a maximum of 260 ml of water into the device.

• Never hold the device under the tap and never immerse it in water to pour water into the reservoir.

• Never pour any cleaning agent or other additives into the device. This could destroy the
  device and safe working is no longer guaranteed.

1. The device has a safety reservoir cap (12). It cannot be removed if the water reservoir is
   pressurised. Press the reservoir cap down and unscrew it in the anticlockwise direction.
   To release pressure from the water reservoir, keep pressing the steam trigger (15)
   until steam stops emerging from the device. The water reservoir can then be opened.

2. Pour water into the water reservoir using the measuring cup and the funnel supplied.

3. Screw the reservoir cap back into the device.

Use

• Never aim steam directly at people, animals or plants. This can cause severe scalding.

• Only ever hold the device by the handle and not by the attachment while operating the device as it can become very hot. There is a danger of scalding!

• Always work with sufficient lighting.

• Make sure that you do not trip over the mains cable while using the device.

• Never use the device without water!

• Never use the device on cold glass surfaces or at outside temperatures of below 10 °C.
  The hot steam could cause the glass to shatter.

• Always try cleaning first at a small, inconspicuous spot.

• Never direct the steam at one spot for too long.

• The water reservoir must not be opened during use!

• The device has a safeguard (13) which blocks the steam trigger (15) so that it cannot be pressed accidentally. To (de)activate the safeguard, push in the securing pin.

• Water may emerge from the attachment when you first start using it. This is normal and does not constitute a defect with the device.

• As the pipe in the device has to fill with steam, you may need to press the steam trigger (16) several times when you start using it before steam starts emerging.

• How much steam is emitted depends mainly on the speed and frequency with which the steam trigger (15) is pressed. The faster you press it, the more steam is emitted.
  However, this is at the expense of the temperature.

1. Attach the attachment you want to the device (see the “Mounting the Accessories” chapter).

2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket that is easily accessible. Steam starts to be generated and the control lamp (17) lights up.

3. Wait until the control lamp goes out. Operating temperature has then been reached and you can start steam-cleaning: Press the steam trigger (15) and move the attachment over the surface to be cleaned as you do so.
   If the steam trigger cannot be pressed, the safeguard (13) has probably been activated. Push in the securing pin to release the safeguard.

4. If the control lamp lights up, the temperature has dropped. Let go of the steam trigger and only press it again once the control lamp has gone out.

5. If the water reservoir is empty, steam will no longer be produced. If you want to top up the water in the reservoir (see the “Filling the Water Reservoir” chapter) or want to stop working, pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down completely. Keep pressing the steam trigger if necessary until no more steam emerges from the device. The water reservoir can then be opened.

6. Empty and clean the water reservoir each time after you use the device (see below) to prevent deposits in the reservoir and thus damage to the device!

After Use / Cleaning the Device
