3.5 Filling the water tank
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Do not add disinfectant or any other additives such as cleaning agents, alcohol, perfumes or chemicals into the water tank. These make use of the appliance unsafe. If the funnel, which you want to use to fill the water tank, was previously in contact with disinfectant (Fig. 13/B), rinse it out before using it to fill the water tank.
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! Never fill an appliance when it is connected to the mains. Never submerge the appliance in water to fill it (Fig. 11/A). Always fill the water tank carefully using a refilling container and a funnel (Fig. 12/A). Keep the other parts of the appliance dry.
3.6 Filling the disinfectant tank
WARNING:
Health hazard! Only use the disinfectant supplied or ordered from us. The device has been designed for and tested with this disinfectant. Do not mix this disinfectant. Other products may make using the appliance unsafe.
WARNING:
Danger of scalding! Only operate the appliance if the tank cap is securely screwed on.
- If the appliance was previously in operation:
WARNING:
Danger of scalding! The water tank is under pressure as soon as the appliance is switched on. Even after you have pulled the plug from the socket, compressed steam could still be in place:
a Pull out the plug before you have finished cleaning.
b Release the remaining steam reserves by holding down the steam button.
c Allow the appliance about thirty minutes to cool off — until the red pin in the cap goes down.
Only then can the cap be opened.
If the cap will not open after steps a-c, push down the red pin in the cap. Only after this has been done can you unscrew the tank cap and fill the water tank as described below.
- Unscrew the tank cap counter-clockwise and take it off the water tank (Fig. 11/B).

- Fill the refilling container with cold, clear tap water.
- Put a funnel into the opening of the water tank (Fig. 12/A).
- Fill the water tank by emptying the refilling container into the funnel (Fig. 12/A).
NOTE:
The water tank holds about 1 litre of water. Do not overfill the tank. Be aware of any residual water in the tank. If there was already water in the tank, the tank is certainly full enough now. Pour the water in slowly and carefully.
- Refit the tank cap and fasten it by turning it clockwise (Fig. 12/B).
- Check that it is securely fitted.
WARNING:
Health hazard! Always make sure that the disinfectant is inaccessible to children, particularly just after filling the disinfectant tank and before steam cleaning. Also observe the instructions on the disinfectant bottle.

Do not overfill the tank. It can only hold 0.25 litres. Always observe the level through the transparent outer wall.
4. Refit the tank cap and fasten it (Fig. 13/A). Check that it is securely fitted.
4.1 Safety when steam-cleaning
ATTENTION:
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket. Only use sockets with a ground/safety contact.
ATTENTION:
Before starting cleaning, check whether the surface to be cleaned is suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the cleaning recommendations of the material manufacturers. The steam cleaner is definitely not suitable for use on uncoated wooden floors, soft plastics and polished furniture. Do not operate the appliance on one spot for too long. Keep moving the appliance back and forth to loosen dirt from an area. Otherwise there will be increased danger of damaging the surface to be cleaned. Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock.
ATTENTION:
Operate the device only with the water tank filled. Although the appliance is fitted with overheating protection, running it without water would shorten the appliance's service life.
NOTE:
The steam cleaner has overheating protection. It will switch off automatically if overheated (e.g. due to an empty water tank). If this happens, pull the mains plug and refill the water tank Chapter 3.5, "Filling the water tank". Wait for about 45 minutes. Once the steam cleaner has cooled down you can switch it on again.
NOTE:
Have a cotton or microfibre cloth ready for follow-up wiping. This serves to absorb water and loosened dirt.
NOTE:
It is recommended to first sweep or vacuum-clean floors to remove loose dirt before using the steam cleaner on them.
NOTE:
Provide adequate ventilation during steam cleaning. Otherwise, the increased humidity after cleaning could, in the worst case, cause the formation of mould. Preferably operate the steam cleaner on warm days when the air can absorb more moisture without condensation.
4.2 Steam cleaning procedure
- Check that the water tank is full. If not, fill it (Chapter 3.5, "Filling the water tank").
- Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact.
- Switch on the appliance with the on/off switch (Fig. 14/A). The operating light goes on (Fig. 14/B). The appliance is heating up.
- Wait for about 7 minutes until the steam ready indicator also goes on (Fig. 14/B). The appliance is now ready for operation.
- Disengage the child protection device by pushing it down (Fig. 15/A).
-
You can now press the steam button on the steam pistol (Fig. 15/B).
-
A few drops of water will be ejected first.
- Collect these if you want to avoid puddles.
- After a short while, a steam jet will appear.
- As long as you press the steam button, steam will come out.
- When the steam ready indicator goes out, you can continue working.
- Only if the steam produced is no longer sufficient, should you release the steam button and wait so the device can reaccumulate pressure and produce hot steam again.
- The steam flow will stop as soon as you release the steam button.
- To save steam and energy, it is advisable to adjust the force of the steam using the steam power control according to the cleaning task (Fig. 16/A).
WARNING:
Danger of scalding! Always point the steam jet downwards towards the surface to be cleaned. Never lay the steam pistol on its side when the appliance is running. When interrupting your work, always switch off the appliance and use up any remaining steam. When interrupting work to fill the tank or to change attachments also pull the plug from the mains socket and engage the child safety device by pushing it up (Fig. 16/B).
WARNING:
Danger of falling! Always be especially careful when cleaning smooth floors as well as steps and stairs! Only work with moderate amounts of steam when cleaning smooth floors, otherwise a moisture film will be left on the floor. Using less steam also ensures quicker drying and reduces the risk of slipping. When cleaning stairs make sure that you are always higher up than the appliance.
4.3 Steam cleaning using disinfectant
4.4 Steam-cleaning glass surfaces
4.5 Refreshing carpets
4.6 Refreshing upholstery and clothing
- Check that the disinfectant tank is full. If not, fill it (Chapter 3.6, "Filling the disinfectant tank").
- Turn the control for the addition of disinfectant on the steam pistol in the 'MAX' direction (Fig. 17/A).
- Insert the plug into a mains socket with a ground/safety contact and proceed as described in Chapter 4.2, "Steam cleaning procedure".
NOTE:
Disinfectant will be added to the jet of steam until the disinfectant tank is empty or you turn the regulator for the addition of disinfectant back to the OFF position (Fig. 17/B).
4. If you want to disinfect floors, cover each stretch of floor several times so that a closed film of disinfectant is produced.
ATTENTION:
Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock. Always warm glass surfaces before directly using steam on them. Do not work on window panes on cold days!
- Warm the glass surface to be cleaned by applying steam from a distance of about 30~cm (Fig. 18/A).
- After a time reduce the distance to about 20~cm to cover the glass surface evenly with steam.
- Stop the steam flow by releasing the steam button and engage the child safety device on the steam pistol.
- Strip the water off of the glass surface with the scraper lip of the 2-in-1 combi attachment (Fig. 18/B).
- Wipe the scraper lip and the bottom edge of the glass surface dry after each pass of the squeegee.
ATTENTION:
First test an unnoticeable part of the floor to see if the floor surface is suited to steam cleaning.
NOTE:
Ensure that the carpet glider base is mounted to the floor nozzle (Fig. 19/A). Otherwise you will not be able to effectively slide over the carpet with the floor nozzle (Fig. 19/B).
NOTE:
We recommend using as little steam as possible and to do without disinfectant when steam cleaning carpets.
WARNING:
Danger of scalding! Never apply the steam jet directly to pieces of clothing while they are still being worn by persons or animals!
ATTENTION:
Before refreshing upholstery or clothes, make sure that their material and colour is suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the cleaning recommendations of the material manufacturers.
NOTE:
We recommend to always use the cotton cover (Fig. 20) when refreshing upholstery or clothing as this reduces the formation of condensation drops that can adversely affect the cleaning result.

6.1 Before you send in the appliance
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Never use a defective appliance or operate an appliance with a defective power cord.
Before sending the appliance to Royal Appliance Customer Services, use the following table to check whether you can solve the problem yourself.
| Problem | Possible cause Solution |
| Steam ready indicator is not on after switching on or goes out just after switching on | The overheating protection device has tripped due to an empty water tank. Disconnect power cord from mains, release the last reserves of steam, let the appliance cool for about thirty minutes and fill the water tank (▷Chapter 3.5, “Filling the water tank”). |
| Water tank and/or heating elements are calcified. Decalcify the appliance (▷Chapter 5.6, “If required: decalcify the appliance”). | |
| Water tank cap cannot be opened after you have pulled the plug, discharged the remaining steam, and have allowed it to cool for at least 30 minutes. | The pressure in the water tank is still too high or the safety valve integrated into the water tank cap is stuck. Press the steam button again to discharge any remaining steam. If this is not enough, press the red pin in the water tank cap with a sharp object (e.g. a pen) and release the water tank cap for opening in this way. |
| Problem | Possible cause Solution |
| The appliance is steam ready, but no steam is produced when the steam but- ton is pressed | The child safety device/lock (Fig. 1/22) of the steam button (Fig. 1/21) is not released. Release the child safety device/lock of the steam but- ton (▷Chapter 4.2, “Steam cleaning procedure”). |
| The steam channels are calcified. Decalcify the appliance (▷Chapter 5.6, “If required: de- calcify the appliance”). | |
| The nozzles are clogged by limescale. Clean the nozzles , e.g. using the cleaning needle (Fig. 1/47*, *optional). | |
| The floor is spotty after cleaning | The cleaning-cloth may have been dirty or have be- come worn-out due to improper care. Replace the cloth with a clean or new one (▷Chapter 6.3, “Disposal”). |
| You may have been cleaning too long in one place. Never work the steam cleaner on one spot for too long. |
NOTE:
If you cannot solve the problem following these instructions, contact Royal customer service Page 88, "International Service".
6.2 If the appliance is defective
If the power cord of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturers, their authorised service representative or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger.
Never use a defective appliance or operate an appliance with a defective power cord. Bring or send defective appliances to a specialist dealer or to Royal Appliance Customer Services for repair. Address Page 88, "International Service".
6.3 Disposal
Dispose of the appliance in compliance with the environmental protection laws of your country.
Electrical waste may not be disposed of together with domestic waste. Use local old-appliance collection points instead.
6.4 Warranty
We offer a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase for the appliances we sell.
Within this warranty period, we will correct all defects free of charge that are due to material or manufacturing faults, either by repair work or replacing the appliance or accessories, at our discretion (damage to accessory parts does not automatically lead to the entire appliance being replaced). Damages due to inappropriate use (operation on wrong voltage or type of current, connecting to unsuitable power supplies, breakage, etc.) are exempt from warranty, as are normal wear and minor defects that only negligibly affect the appliance's value or serviceability.
Interventions by unauthorised parties and the use of spare parts not supplied by Royal Appliance make the warranty null and void. Consumable parts are not included in the warranty and therefore must be purchased by the customer!
The warranty is only valid if the date of purchase has been acknowledged by the dealer's stamp and signature on the warranty card or if a copy of the invoice is included with the appliance that has been sent in. Warranty work does not extend the warranty period nor does it constitute a claim for a new warranty!
Send us the appliance with the water tank emptied and a short description of the defect in block capitals. Head your accompanying letter with the comment 'warranty claim'. Send it to the following address, including the warranty card or a copy of the receipt:
