Use the selector switch for the steam vol-
ume to regulate the discharged steam. The
selector switch has three positions:
 Set selector switch to the required
steam volume.
 While operating the steam switch, al-
ways direct the steam gun at a separate
piece of cloth until the steam is emitted
evenly.
Note: The heating of the steam cleaner
is turned on in regular intervals during
the operation of the appliance in order
to maintain the pressure in the boiler at
a constant level. When the heating is
turned on, the orange indicator lamp
(heater) lights up.
Water needs to be filled into the boiler, if the
steam volume decreases during work and
no more steam is emitted in the end.
Note: The safety lock cannot be opened as
long as slight pressure remains in the boil-
er.

charge stops. Now, the boiler of the ap-
pliance is unpressurized.

Danger

ing as the water may splash back during
the filling process! Do not fill any detergents
or other additives into the boiler!

way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/
loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.

an inconspicuous location: Steam at first,
then let dry and then check for colour or
shape changes.
