Initial Start-Up
ATTENTION
Device damage due to calcification
Always work with a decalcification cartridge.
1. Insert the decalcification cartridge into the water res-
ervoir and press it firmly into place.
Illustration D
Installation information
When steaming for the first time after removing and re-
inserting the decalcification cartridge, the steam jet may
be weak or irregular, and individual drops of water may
be expelled. The device requires a short running-in pe-
riod in which the decalcification cartridge fills with water.
The steam volume that is expelled increases constantly
until the maximum steam volume has been reached af-
ter approx. 50 seconds.
Note
Please note that here it is set to steam stage 2 (tiles/
stone), since the running-in period will otherwise be ex-
tended.
Operation
Unwinding the power cable
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
If the power cable is not completely unwound, the dan-
ger exists of you straining and damaging the power ca-
ble by overestimating the range of the cable.
Always completely unwind the power cable.
Note
The lower cable holder can be rotated by 360° for re-
moving the cable. The upper cable hook cannot be ro-
tated.
1. Turn the lower cable holder upwards.
2. Remove the power cable completely from the cable
hook.
3. Fasten the cable in the fastener of the upper or low-
er cable hook to prevent it from being run over dur-
ing cleaning work.

Filling water
The water reservoir can be filled at any time.
ATTENTION
Material damage through open reservoir cover or
incorrectly seated or loose water reservoir
Liquid can escape and damage the floor covering if the
reservoir cover is not correctly closed or the water res-
ervoir is not correctly inserted into the device.
Take care to ensure that the reservoir cover is securely
closed and the water reservoir is seated tightly in the de-
vice when the water reservoir is full.
ATTENTION
Damage to the device
Unsuitable water can block the nozzles.
Do not use condensation from the clothes dryer for fill-
ing.
Do not use collected rain water for filling.
Do not use cleaning agents or other additives (e.g.
scents) for filling.
Note
The decalcification cartridge must be installed in the wa-
ter reservoir when filling the water reservoir.
Filling the water reservoir directly on the device
1. Hold the device firmly.
2. Open the reservoir cover, and fill the water reservoir
with max. 0.4 l tap water, directly at the device.
Illustration F
3. Close the reservoir cover.
Removing the water reservoir for filling
1. Hold the device firmly.
2. Pull the water reservoir vertically upwards by the
handle.
3. Open the reservoir cover, and fill with max. 0.4 l tap
water.
Illustration G
4. Close the reservoir cover.
5. Insert the water reservoir and press downwards until
it locks into place.
Switching on the device
ATTENTION
Device and material damage due to tipping over
The device can fall over and be damaged if inadequate-
ly secured during work breaks or storage. Liquid can al-
so leak out and damage the floor covering in the
process.
Position the device with the floor nozzle on a solid base,
or the handle with the wall anti-slip protection in a verti-
cal position on a solid wall.
