• Always suspend the nozzle from the holder when it is not used, in order to avoid injuries or damage to surfaces from escaping steam.

• Do not place the steam hose on the ground to avoid condensation and thus unwanted water droplets in the steam. CAUTION: Make sure that the steam hose is not stretched, squashed, or kinked. Do not operate the unit with a damaged steam hose. Electrical connection

• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the line voltage match.

• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing contact. Connected Wattage The unit can draw a total power of 1500 W. With this connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recommended. CAUTION: Overload!

• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².

• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too powerful. Operation Operate the unit

1. Remove the water tank from the unit, turn it over, and

unscrew the valve cap. NOTE: Use distilled water to increase the lifespan of the unit.

2. Fill water into the water tank and seal the tank again with

the valve cap. NOTE: Use only the supplied water tank.

10. Roll the unit to a suitable storage place.

Descaling A common problem with steam appliances are lime deposits when hard water is used. Lime residue in the internal lines and the heater can lead to intermittent steam discharge or in some cases to a complete stop of steam output. NOTE: To reduce or prevent lime deposits, we recommend the use of distilled water. If you cannot use distilled water, we recommend that you perform descaling once a month. Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the steam hose and the telescopic tube.

2. Place the unit over a drain.

3. Remove the water tank and empty it. Rinse the tank with

fresh water and empty it completely.

4. Empty the unit completely. Either remove the drain plug or

pour the water out of the unit.

5. To rinse the unit, ll fresh water into the water inlet and the

hose connection and empty the unit completely.

6. Prepare a solution with 50 % vinegar and 50 % water. In

most cases, 2 cups of this solution will be sufcient.

7. Pour this solution slowly into the

tube connection of the unit (Fig. F), until the water tank of the unit is about half full.

8. If the lled-in solution does not

become visible in the inlet of the unit, ll the hose connection completely. Additionally, pour solution into the water inlet, until the water tank of the unit is about half full.

9. Let the solution at for 40 minutes.

10. Empty the unit completely.

11. Rinse the hose connection as well as the water tank with

fresh water, until all vinegar residue has been removed.

12. Connect the steam hose and the telescopic tube.35
