Filling the Water Reservoir<br />
Illustration<br />
The water reservoir may be refilled at any time.<br />
ATTENTION<br />
Do not use condensation water from the drier!<br />
Do not fill with detergent or other additives (for example<br />
fragrances)!<br />
Do not use pure distilled water! Max. 50% distilled water<br />
and 50% tap water.<br />
Do not use collected rain water!<br />
You can remove the water reservoir to fill it or you can<br />
fill it directly on the appliance.<br />
Take off water reservoir<br />
Pull the water reservoir straight up.<br />
Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX" marking<br />
while positioned vertically under the water tap.<br />
Insert the water reservoir and press downwards until<br />
it arrests.<br />
Directly on the appliance<br />
Pour water from a container into the funnel inlet. Fill<br />
up to the "MAX" marking.<br />
Turning on the Appliance<br />
Place the unit securely on a firm surface.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Insert the mains plug into a socket.<br />
Rotate the selector switch to one of the steam levels<br />
from the OFF position.<br />
Display - steam gun lights up green.<br />
Display - steam level lights up white and/or Vapo-<br />
Hydro level lights up red.<br />
Display - heater blinks green.<br />
Once the indicator lamp (heater) lights up permanently,<br />
the steam cleaner is ready to use.<br />
Notes<br />
• If there is no or not enough water in the steam boiler,<br />
the water pump starts and supplies water from<br />
the reservoir into the steam boiler. The filling process<br />
may take several minutes.<br />
• The appliance briefly closes the valve every 60<br />
seconds. This will prevent the valve from sticking.<br />
There will be a slight audible click. The steam delivery<br />
is not impaired by this.<br />
Refilling Water<br />
In case of water shortage, the water shortage display<br />
lights up red and a signal can be heard.<br />
Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX" marking.<br />
Notes<br />
• Every time there is not enough water in the steam<br />
boiler, the pump automatically supplies water from<br />
the water reservoir into the steam boiler. If the water<br />
reservoir is empty, the water pump is not able to<br />
fill the steam boiler and the steam tapping is<br />
blocked.<br />
• The water pump tries to fill the steam boiler in short<br />
intervals. If the filling process is successful, the red<br />
indicator lamp goes off.<br />
Adjusting the Steam Quantity<br />
The emerging steam is regulated by a selector switch.<br />
This selector switch offers five settings for different<br />
grades of contamination. The following shows application<br />
examples for the steam levels, types of contamination<br />
and objects:<br />
Steam level 1<br />
Light contaminations, i.e.:<br />
– Dust<br />
Objects / surfaces, for example:<br />
– Plants, sensitive, painted or coated surfaces<br />
Steam level 2<br />
Light to medium contamination or fresh contamination,<br />
i.e.:<br />
– Finger prints, dust, food residue, raindrops, toothpaste<br />
traces<br />
Objects / surfaces, for example:<br />
– enclosed heaters, mirrors, windows, plastic/metal<br />
surfaces<br />
Steam level 3<br />
Medium to strong contamination or older, crusted contamination,<br />
i.e.:<br />
– slight grease layer, finger prints, fly feces, spray<br />
from food or toothpaste<br />
Objects / surfaces, for example:<br />
– Surfaces in kitchen, bathroom, window, ceran<br />
stove top, wall tiles, tiled floors, PVC, linoleum<br />
Steam level 4<br />
Heavy contamination, i.e.:<br />
– old crusted food residue, detergent residue, light<br />
lime scale, heavy grease layer, dried water spots,<br />
soap scum<br />
Objects / surfaces, for example:<br />
– Tiled floors, PVC, linoleum, wall tiles, grout between<br />
tiles, sink, shower tub, bath tub,<br />
Steam level 5 – Vapohydro function<br />
Jagged, angled areas that can be sprayed with water,<br />
such as:<br />
– hard crusts, dirt that has settled in grout and corners,<br />
soap scum, light lime scale<br />
Objects / surfaces, for example:<br />
– Bathroom fixtures, interior window frames (not<br />
wooden frames), bathroom shelves, stove burners,<br />
shower stalls, drains<br />
Adjusting the steam quantity<br />
Set selector switch to the required steam volume.<br />
While operating the steam switch, always direct the<br />
steam gun at a separate piece of cloth until the<br />
steam is emitted evenly.<br />
Turning Off the Appliance<br />
Illustration<br />
Push the steam switch until steam discharge stops.<br />
Now, the boiler of the appliance is unpressurized.<br />
Illustration<br />
Rotate the switch to the OFF position to turn off the<br />
appliance.<br />
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.<br />
Press the cover of the appliance connector to the<br />
bottom and disconnect the steam plug from the appliance<br />
connector.<br />
Empty the residual water from the water reservoir.<br />
