4�7 Filling The Pressure Tank; 4�8 Electrical Connection; Operation; Switching On / Off - Renfert POWER steamer 1 Manual De Instrucciones

When operating with a water supply that uses distilled water, a coffee spoon of salt (table salt), approx.
10 g, must be added to the pressure tank on startup (once only!)� To do so, dissolve the salt in a glass of
water and pour into the filler opening.
en
The salt is only removed when rinsing or descaling the unit.
That is why it must be added every time after rinsing or descaling the unit.
4.7 Filling the pressure tank
⇒ Unscrew the tank cap (1)�
⇒ Using a container, fill the pressure tank slowly with drinking
water. The funnel-shaped upper housing makes filling with water
easier�
⇒ Only fill with the required quantity in accordance with the recom-
mended fill quantity.
Recommended fill quantity, see Chap. "8. Technical data". If
the jet of steam pulsates, this indicates that the pressure tank
has been overfilled.
Danger of scalding!
Excess water remains in the funnel-shaped upper housing.
This must be removed before operation.
⇒ Wipe off / remove excess water in the funnel-shaped upper housing.
⇒ Screw in the tank cap and tighten until it is finger tight.
The POWER steamer 1 can be operated using both drinking water and distilled or deionized water.
If the unit is a POWER steamer 2, and if it was connected to the water supply, it fills automatically
after it is switched on (see Chap. 5.1.1).
4.8 Electrical connection
Before making the electrical connection, check that the voltage indicated on the nameplate match-
es the local voltage supply.
⇒ Insert the power plug into a building electrical socket�
♦ After plugging in, a system check is performed during which the unit cannot yet be switched on� Wait
approx. 5 seconds before pressing the ON / OFF button.

Operation

5.1

Switching on / off

Switching on:
⇒ Check that the pressure tank is full. Refill with water if required or turn on the
water supply in the case of POWER steamer 2�
⇒ Switch on the unit by pressing the ON / OFF button (3).
♦ The "Heating / Ready for operation" indicator (5) lights up in orange, the unit
heats up�
♦ POWER steamer 2: The tank fills automatically (see 5.1.1)
♦ The water is heated using the integrated heating until the working pressure
has been reached�
♦ Once the working pressure has been reached, the "Heating / Ready for oper-
ation" indicator (5) lights up in green�
As a result of filling, the thread of the tank cap contains water.
This audibly turns to steam during heating.
How long it takes for the unit to heat up also depends on the mains voltage applied. If the unit is
cold and filled with 3 l of cold water, it could take between 20 and 40 minutes.
