2.3 Filling up with water
Unscrew the safety cap (A2) on the main unit.
Pour a maximum of 0.32 gal. of tap water into
the boiler. The boiler can be filled up to ap-
prox. 1 in. below the edge of the filler neck.
Heating-up time can be shortened by using
hot water.
Do not add pour any detergents or other
additives into the boiler.
Screw the safety cap back onto the cleaner
(A2).
2.4 Switching the cleaner ON
Plug the cleaner into a mains socket.
Do not switch the cleaner on if there is no
water in the boiler, otherwise it could over-
heat. As a safety measure, the cleaners
heater switches off automatically and the
low-water warning lamp (A6 illuminates. In
order to be able to use the cleaner again,
wait approx. 10 minutes for it to cool down
and then fill the boiler with water (see 2.6
Refilling with water).
Switch the heater switch (A5) to ON. The indi-
cator light is on.
After env. 7 min. the cleaner is ready for use.
Switch off the heater (A5) before moving the
cleaner.
When you press the steam switch, steam is
discharged from the nozzle. Begin by pointing
the steam gun at a cloth until a steady flow of
steam comes out of the nozzle.
2.5 Regulating the volume of steam
The amount of steam can be regulated accor-
ding to requirement by adjusting the steam
switch (C3) on the steam gun.
The steam control (C4) can choose to the
following positions:
in front
no steam
to the middle
half volume of steam
back
max. volume of steam
2.6 Refilling with water
Note: When the water in the boiler has been
used up, the low-water warning lamp (A6) will
illuminate. The safety cap (A2) cannot be opened
while there is any pressure at all in the boiler.
Turn off the heater switch (A5).
Press the steam switch (C3) on the steam
gun (C1) and hold it pressed until steam is no
longer discharged from the nozzle. There will
then be no pressure inside the boiler.
Unscrew the safety cap (A2) from the cleaner.
If the cleaner has been in continuous use
for a long time, the safety cap (A2) may be
hot!
Pour a maximum of 0.32 gal. of tap water into
the boiler.
If the boiler is still hot, there is a risk that
water will be squirted back while it is being
poured into the boiler and cause scalding.
Firmly screw the safety cap (A2) back onto
the cleaner. Turn on the heater switch (A5)
again.
