Initial Start-Up

During initial start-up, a small cloud of smoke may be
emitted from the steam nozzle. The appliance requires
a short run-in time. At the start, the steam output is very
irregular and damp, single droplets of water may even
leak out. The steam volume that leaks out increases
constantly until the maximum quantity has been
reached after approx. 1 minute.
