Initial Start-Up

ATTENTION
Device damage due to calcification
The decalcification cartridge only works properly if you
adjust the device to the local water hardness before op-
erating it for the first time.
Set the device to the local water hardness.
Set the device to the current water hardness before us-
ing it in an area with a different water hardness (e.g. af-
ter a move)
12
1. Insert the decalcification cartridge into the water res-
ervoir and press it firmly into place.
Illustration F
2. Set the water hardness, see chapter Setting the wa-
ter hardness.
Note
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. 30 seconds.
Note
Please note that here it is set to steam stage 3 (tiles/
stone), since the running-in period will otherwise be
extended.
Installing the handle bar
1. Hold the basic device.
2. Fit the handle bar all the way to the end stop into the
basic device until it audibly latches into place. The
handle bar must sit tightly in the device.
Illustration B
Installing the floor nozzle
1. Hold the device by the handle.
2. Connect the lower section of the basic unit to the
floor nozzle until it audibly latches into place.
Illustration C
Unwinding the power cord
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
If the power cable is not completely unwound, the dan-
ger exists of you straining and damaging the mains 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. Completely remove the power cable 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.
Illustration J
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
water reservoir is not correctly closed or the water res-
ervoir is not correctly fitted in the device.
Take care to ensure that the water reservoir cover is
closed and the reservoir is seated tightly in the device
when the water reservoir is full.
ATTENTION
Damage to the device
Unsuitable water can block the nozzles.
