2.2 About hot steam and hot parts of the appliance

WARNING - Risk of scalding

The appliance produces hot steam for cleaning at a temperature of approx. 110^ . Various hazards are associated with hot steam:

■ Never direct the steam jet at people, animals or plants. Point the steam jet downwards towards the surface to be cleaned only. Even then, make sure that you keep parts of the body out of the steam jet at all times. There is a risk of scalding.

• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised whilst it is connected to a socket. Never lay the appliance on its side during operation. There is a risk of scalding
• Do not point the steam jet at electrical devices, sockets, cables, etc. or inside ovens. There is a risk of electric shock.
  The appliance produces steam under pressure for cleaning purposes. Even after you have unplugged the appliance, hot steam will be available for approx. 30 more minutes. So purposely discharge the remaining steam from the appliance towards the end of the cleaning process by pressing the steam button immediately after pulling the plug from the socket.
  Never use the device without the water tank cap screwed on correctly. The safety valve should prevent the water tank cap from being removed prematurely. So do not use force to open the water tank cap.
• Do not use the appliance to clean pressure containers, containers which are filled with liquids, or containers if you do not know what they contain. There is a danger of them bursting or exploding!
  Take care not to use the steam cleaner on one spot for too long. Otherwise, the surface might be damaged.
  ■ Provide adequate ventilation during and after your cleaning work. Otherwise, the increased humidity after cleaning could, in the worst case, cause the formation of mould.

CAUTION - hot surface

Let the hot appliance and its accessories cool off before touching them. Carry the appliance by its handle only. There is a danger of burning yourself!

2.3 Concerning certain groups of person

This appliance can be used by persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities or insufficient experience or knowledge if suitable supervision or clear instruction for use of the appliance is assured, and they understand the associated dangers.

Children must not play with the appliance. Always lock the child lock after use.
Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance tasks without supervision.
- Keep the appliance away from children when it is switched on or is cooling down.
Packing material must not be used to play with. There is danger of suffocation.

WARNING:

Danger of electric shock! Never fill an appliance with water when it is connected to the mains. Never submerge the appliance in water to fill it. Always fill the water tank carefully using a refilling container.

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 refilling container, which you want to use to fill the water tank, was previously in contact with disinfectant, rinse the refilling container out before using it to fill the water tank.

1. 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 present:

a Before finishing cleaning work, pull the plug out of the socket.
b Release the remaining steam reserves by holding down the steam button.
c Allow the appliance to cool off until the red pin in the water tank cap goes down. This can take up to thirty minutes. Only then can the water tank cap be opened.

1. Twist the water tank cap counter-clockwise and take it completely off the water tank (Fig. 12).

NOTE:

If the cap will not open after steps 1.a-1.c, push down the red pin in the water tank cap. Only after this has been done can you unscrew the water tank cap and fill the water tank as described below.

WARNING:

Danger of burns! If the appliance was in operation beforehand, the water tank cap and the appliance parts around it could still be hot. Always fill the water tank carefully using a refilling container.

1. Fill a refilling container with cold, clear tap water to the 'MAX" mark.

3 Preparing the appliance

1. Empty the refilling container into the water tank (Fig. 14).

NOTE:

The water tank holds about 300ml 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.

1. Refit the water tank filler cap and fasten it by firmly turning it clockwise (Fig. 15).

2. Check that it is securely fitted.

3.6 Filling the disinfectant tank

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.

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.

NOTE:

If you do not have any original disinfectant available, leave the disinfectant tank empty. You can steam clean with the appliance completely normally. In this case, simply set the disinfectant regulator to 'OFF' (Fig. 22).

1. Make certain that the power cord has been disconnected from the socket.
2. Take hold of the appliance and disinfectant tank as shown (Fig. 16), push the release buttons in, and pull the tank out of the appliance vigorously.

Do not overfill the tank. It will hold no more than 150ml . Check the level constantly by looking through the transparent outer wall and make sure that it does not exceed the 'MAX' mark (Fig. 18).

1. Refit the tank cap and fasten it (Fig. 17).
2. Check that it is securely fitted.
3. Rinse out the refilling container with clear water.

3.7 Before connecting the appliance

WARNING:

Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use. A damaged appliance must never be used.

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 wood, soft plastics and polished furniture. Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock. Do not work on window panes on cold days!

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. If possible, do not use extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the appliance.

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 microfibre cloth or a cotton cloth ready for follow-up wiping. This serves to absorb water and loosened dirt.

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.

4.1 Steam cleaning

WARNING:

Danger of scalding when using the appliance!

Never direct the steam jet at persons, animals or plants.
Always point the steam jet downwards towards the surface to be cleaned. Even then, take care that parts of your body never get into the steam jet.
Never use your hand to test whether steam is coming out!
Never lay the appliance on its side during operation.

1. Check that the water tank is full. If not, fill it (Chapter 3.5, "Filling the water tank").

2. Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact (Fig. 19/A).

3. The steam ready indicator is illuminated red (Fig. 19/B).

4. The appliance will now heat up.

5. Wait about 3-4 minutes (Fig. 19/C) until the pin in the water tank cap goes up (Fig. 19/D) and the steam ready indicator changes from red to green (Fig. 19/E). Your appliance is now ready for steam cleaning.

NOTE:

The time until your appliance has built up steam can vary according to the water temperature and quantity in the water tank.

1. Release the child lock (Fig. 19/F) by pushing it down.

2. Now, you can push the steam button (Fig. 19/G).

3. A few drops of water will be ejected first. Collect these if you want to avoid puddles.

4. After a short while, a steam jet will appear (Fig. 19/H).
5. The steam flow will stop as soon as you release the steam button.

ATTENTION:

Do not operate the appliance on one spot for a prolonged time. Keep moving the appliance back and forth to loosen dirt on a larger area. Otherwise there is danger of damaging the surface to be cleaned.

NOTE:

If the steam ready indicator changes from green to red, you can continue to work. 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 steam again.

WARNING:

Danger of scalding when interrupting work!

Pull the plug from the socket if you interrupt work, e.g. to change attachments.
Wait at least ten minutes before removing the fitted attachments.

NOTE:

You can also regulate steam power and cleaning effect by adjusting the distance to the surface to be cleaned.

4.2 Steam cleaning using disinfectant

1. Check that the disinfectant tank is full. If not, fill it (Chapter 3.6, "Filling the disinfectant tank").

2. Turn the disinfectant regulator on the handle according to whether you want to add a lot of disinfectant to the jet of steam or just a little:

3. for a lot of disinfectant in the jet of steam: 'MAX' position (Fig. 20).

4. for a small quantity of disinfectant in the jet of steam: MIN' position (Fig. 21).

NOTE:

Make sure that the controller clicks into the position chosen. Positions between the three marked positions are pointless and obstruct problem-free function.

1. Insert the plug into a mains socket with a ground/safety contact and proceed as described in Chapter 4.1, "Steam cleaning".

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. 22).

4.3 Steam-cleaning glass surfaces

ATTENTION:

Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock. Always warm glass surfaces before using steam on them. Do not work on window panes on cold days!

1. Warm the glass surface to be cleaned by applying steam from a distance of about 30~cm (Fig. 23).
2. After a time reduce the distance to about 20 cm to cover the glass surface evenly with steam.
3. Stop the supply of steam by releasing the steam button.
4. Strip the water off of the glass surface with the scraper lip of the 2-in-1 combi attachment (Fig. 24).
5. Wipe the scraper lip and the bottom edge of the glass surface dry after each pass of the squeezegee.

4.4 Refreshing upholstery and clothing

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. And follow the cleaning recommendations of the material manufacturers.

NOTE:

We recommend always using the cotton cover (Fig. 25) when refreshing upholstery or clothing as this reduces the formation of condensation drops that can adversely affect the cleaning result.

4.5 Immediately after steam cleaning

1. Before finishing cleaning work, pull the plug out of the socket (Fig. 27/A).
2. Release the remaining steam reserves by holding down the steam button (Fig. 27/B) until steam stops coming out (Fig. 27/C,D).
3. Lock the child lock (Fig. 27/E).
4. Allow the appliance to cool off (Fig. 27/G) until the red pin in the water tank cap goes down (Fig. 27/F,H). This can take up to thirty minutes.

NOTE:

If the red pin in the water tank cap does not drop as described, proceed as described in Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting", no. 2.

1. Take the attached accessory from the appliance as soon as it has cooled off so that it can dry better.

ATTENTION:

Otherwise condensation might collect and leak out later.

1. If you have used the cotton cover, take it off and let it dry or wash it straight away.

ATTENTION:

When doing so, observe the manufacturer's cleaning instructions on its label.

1. Coil the power cord and lay it safely beside the appliance.

4.6 Storage

ATTENTION:

Only stow away the appliance and its accessories if completely dry.

NOTE:

If you have not used up all the disinfectant, the remaining disinfectant can be left in the tank.

If you want to store the appliance for a longer period of time, empty the water tank and let it dry completely.
Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

5.1 Before you send in the appliance

See if you can solve the problem yourself by following the steps in the adjacent table.

Problem Possible cause / solution

The steam button (Fig. 1/2) cannot be actuated	The child lock (Fig. 1/3) has not been released. Release the child lock by pushing it down.
The steam ready light (Fig. 1/8) is on, but even after >3 minutes no steam is produced when the steam button (Fig. 1/2) is pushed.	The overheating protection device has tripped due to an empty water tank. Fill the water tank (▷Chapter 3.5, "Filling the water tank").
	Water tank and/or heating elements are calcified. Decalcify the appliance as follows: 1. Fill the water tank with clear, cold water and add biological decalcifier (available commercially). Follow the decalcifier manufacturer's instruc-tions on use and dosage. 2. Direct the attached nozzle into a heat-resistant container which can col-lect the steam. 3. Connect the appliance to the mains. 4. Wait until the appliance is steam-ready and then let the decalcifying so-lution run through for about 5 minutes. 5. Then wait another 5 minutes with the appliance still plugged in. 6. Repeat this procedure three times and dispose of the remaining solu-tion.
The water tank cap cannot be opened af-ter you have pulled the plug, dischar-ged the remaining steam, and have al-owed 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. 1. Press the steam button again to discharge any remaining steam. 2. If this is not enough, press the red pin in the water tank cap with a sharp object (e. g. a pen), thus releasing the water tank cap for opening.
Less steam escapes than was the case with earlier tasks.	The steam channels are calcified. Decalcify the appliance (see above).
	The nozzles are clogged by limescale. Clean the nozzles, e.g. using the cleaning needle (Fig. 1/28, optional).
