2.2 Notes about the Cold Steam Unit

• Only distilled water should be used for the cold steam
unit. This type of water is not included with the locomoti-
ve.
• The steam slot on the cold steam unit may not be covered
when the unit is in operation.
• During operation, an air bubble may form at the steam
opening, which will hinder the production of steam.
This can be prevented by blowing lightly into the steam
opening. In most cases, the air bubble will dissolve on its
own after a short time.
• If possible, operate the cold steam unit only when the
locomotive is running. Otherwise, too much moisture can
fall in one place. When the locomotive is at a stop, the
cold steam unit shuts off automatically after 60 seconds.
When the locomotive starts going again, the cold steam
unit is activated again.
• The cold steam unit should not be turned on when the
locomotive is being run on M Track (risk of corrosion!).
• Be careful when going through a tunnel that has
construction materials sensitive to water or that has
concealed electronics!
• When using the cold steam unit, water that has built up
on the sides of the locomotive should be wiped at regular
intervals with a cloth to prevent water from dripping onto
the model railroad layout.
• If the cold steam unit chirps like a bird, the water tank is
empty.
• The function of the cold steam unit can be left on without
distilled water in the tank – this will not cause damage to
the model.
• Pour distilled water only in the correct roof opening (see
under Item 4). The roof opening for the tank is closed
with a rubber cork. This rubber cork must be removed
when filling the tank and after that put back in the ope-
ning.
• The locomotive should not be turned upside down as
long as there is water in the tank. Otherwise, the distilled
water will run out!
• If the locomotive falls over on the layout – set it upright on
the track immediately!
• Do not damage the cold steam unit with the point of the
pipette.
• The pipette included with the locomotive should only be
used for distilled water.
• Before putting the locomotive back in its packaging, the
distilled water in the tank should be completely used up in
the cold steam unit and the locomotive should be allowed
to dry in the air. Vaporization must take place when the
locomotive is in motion, since otherwise the steam unit
will shut off automatically after 60 seconds.
