Preparing the Appliance

Filling the Water Reservoir

Note

Regular tap water can be used.

As water naturally contains lime, which can lead to formation of scale over time, it is recommended to use a mixture that consists of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water.

ATTENTION

Material damage due to incorrect filling of the water tank.

→ Do not use condensation water from the drier!
→ Do not fill with detergent or other additives (for example fragrances)!
Do not use pure distilled water! Max. 50% distilled water and 50% tap water.
→ Do not use collected rain water!

Illustration A 1

→ Pull the filler neck of the water tank towards the outside.

Illustration A 2

Illustration A 3

→ Fill the water tank with approx. 0.5 litres of water until the float, which indicates the maximum filling level, can be seen.

→ Close the water tank.

Note

The steam boiler is automatically supplied with water from the water tank. Prior to the initial start-up, the water tank must be filled twice.

Filling the water filter container

ATTENTION

Material damage due to empty water filter container.

→ Ensure that the water filter container is always filled during operation.

Illustration B 1

→ Lift the handle of the water container.
→ Pull out the water filter container.

Illustration B2

→ Turn the handle towards the back.

Illustration B 3

→ Remove the water filter insert.

Illustration B 4

→ Fill the water filter container with tap water until the water level indicator MAX H_2O is covered.
→ Add one cap full of the defoaming liquid (Foam-Stop) to the water filter reservoir.

Illustration B 3

→ Reinsert the water filter insert into the water filter container.

Illustration B2

→ Move the handle to its original position until it locks in place.

Illustration B 1

→ Insert the water filter container into the appliance using the handle.

Note: The functioning of the vacuum cleaner is based on the whirling of the suction air in the water filter. In the process, sucked-in materials and deposits of cleaning agents from floors get collected in the water bath. This can sometimes lead to the formation of foam. It is necessary to add a capful of the defoamer liquid to the water bath to avoid this situation. Slight foam formation is normal and does not hamper the functioning of the machine.

Operation

Always place the machine in a horizontal position during operation.

△CAUTION

Risk of injury due to accidental discharge of steam.

→ Ensure that the release button is always activated by the stop position during interruptions of work or when the appliance is not supervised.

Note

In order to continue the steam release, deactivate the stop position by pushing the button again.

Illustration C1

→ Open the flap of the appliance connector.
→ Tightly insert the steam plug into the appliance connector. The plug must click into place audibly.

Illustration C2

→ Insert the mains plug into the socket.

Connecting the accessories

Illustration D1

→ All accessories can directly be attached to the handle or to the steam suction pipes.

Illustration D2

→ In order to connect the two extension tubes with each other, the direction of the arrow must be observed.

Accessories for steaming and vacuuming

Illustration D1

→ Connect the handle or the extension tube to the desired accessory.

Illustration D2

△CAUTION

Risk of injury on account of steam!

→ During the operation of the device, the locking le-vers must remain in the closed position!

How to Use the Accessories

■ Please read the cleaning instructions of the manufacturer before treating leather, special fabrics and wooden surfaces and always do a trial on a sample or some hidden part. Let the steam-treated surface dry and then check whether there are any changes to the colour or form on account as reaction to the steam.
We recommend that you be very careful while cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) because long exposure to steam can damage the wax coating, the finish or the surface colours. Hence we recommend that you use steam only for short intervals or first clean the surface with a cloth that has been steam-moistened.
For highly sensitive surfaces (for e.g. synthetic materials, painted surfaces, etc.) we recommend that you use the steam function at the minimum performance level.
■ Cleaning of stainless steel: Avoid the use of abrasive brushes. Use hand nozzle with rubber lip or detail nozzle without a round brush.

Refreshing textiles

■ Always test the compatibility of the fabrics on a hidden spot prior to treating them with the appliance: Steam first, then allow to dry before checking for colour changes or deformation.

Floor nozzle

ATTENTION

Material damage if the setting of the steam level is too high.

→ Sensitive floors, such as parquet floors may only be cleaned with the highest suction performance and minimum steam level.

Application examples

■ Cleaning of large surfaces, floors made of ceramics, marble, parquet, carpets, etc.
■ Floor nozzle with brush strip insert: For etching and scrubbing down stubborn soiling.
■ Floor nozzle with rubber lip insert: For vacuuming up liquids from smooth surfaces.
■ Floor nozzle with hard rubber insert: Cleaning and refreshing of carpeting.

Mounting the attachments

Illustration D 3

→ Slide the locking mechanism of the floor nozzle outwards.
→ Put the insert into the bottom side of the brush.
→ To secure the insert, slide the locking mechanism inwards.
→ Removing the insert: Slide the locking mechanism outwards again.
→ Remove the insert.

Detail nozzle

The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty spot, the higher the cleaning effect as temperature and pressure of the steam reach their maximum values immediately when they are emitted from the nozzle.

Application examples

■ The use of the detail nozzle is recommended for hard to reach areas.
■ Cleaning of stainless steel, window panes, mirrors and enamel surfaces.
■ Cleaning of corners on stairs, window frames, door posts, aluminium profiles.
■ Cleaning of fittings.
■ Cleaning of window shutters, radiators.

Detail nozzle and accessories

ATTENTION

Material damage (e.g. scratches on painted surfaces) due to the use of the round brush on sensitive surfaces.

→ Do not use the round brush on sensitive surfaces.
■ The round brush is suitable for stubborn soiling on especially small surfaces such as stove tops, roller shutters, tile joints, sanitary facilities, etc.
■ Extension: With this accessory an optimum cleaning of places that are particularly hard to reach is possible. Ideal for cleaning heaters, door posts, windows, roller shutters, sanitary facilities.

Hand nozzle

Application examples

The use of the hand suction nozzle is recommended for large glass and mirror surfaces, smooth surfaces in general or for the cleaning of textile surfaces, such as sofas, mattresses, etc.

Hand nozzle and accessories

■ Window cleaning insert wide: Window panes and surfaces of larger dimensions.
■ Window cleaning insert narrow: Window panes and surfaces of smaller dimensions.
■ Brush collar: For carpets, staircases, car interiors, textile surfaces in general (after carrying out a test on a hidden area). For abrasive cleaning and scrubbing.
■ Pull the terry cloth cover over the manual nozzle. Especially well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls and mirrors.

Cleaning of Glass

ATTENTION

Material damage due to steam release onto cold window panes.

→ In seasons with particularly low temperatures, pre-warm the window panes by releasing steam with a distance of approx. 50 cm to the surface to be treated.

ATTENTION

Material damage due to steam release onto sealed spots of the window frame.

→ Do not level the steam at these spots.
→ Apply steam to the glass surface from a distance of approximately 20 cm until the surface is moistened evenly.
→ Switch off the steam supply.
→ Strip the glass surface web by web from top to bottom by means of the rubber lip and vacuum off.
→ Wipe the rubber lip and the lower window frame dry as necessary.

Upholstery nozzle (small)

It is suitable to vacuum up dirt from narrow surfaces, such as tile joints, door frames, roller shutter slits, etc.

Upholstery nozzle (large)

■ For cleaning textile surfaces such as sofas, arm-chairs, mattresses, car seats, etc..

Crevice nozzle

■ For edges, joints, heaters and hard to reach locations.

Furniture brush

■ For cleaning sensitive surfaces such as picture frames, books, etc..

Special accessories

Round brush kit (order No. 2.860-231) 4 round brushes for the detail nozzle.

HEPA Filter (Order No.. 2.860-229)
