a Pull out the plug before you have finished cleaning.

NOTE:
The water tank holds about 1 litre of water. Do not overfill the tank. Be
aware of any residual water in the tank. If there was already water in the
tank, the tank is certainly full enough now. Pour the water in slowly and
carefully.
6. Refit the tank cap and fasten it by turning it clockwise (Fig. 12/B).
7. Check that it is securely fitted.
WARNING:
Health hazard! Always make sure that the disinfectant is inaccessible to
children, particularly just after filling the disinfectant tank and before
steam cleaning. Also observe the instructions on the disinfectant bottle.
NOTE:
If you do not have any original disinfectant available, simply leave the
disinfectant tank empty. You can still steam clean with the appliance nor-
mally. In this case, set the disinfectant regulator (Fig. 1/23) to 'OFF'.

2. Insert a funnel (Fig. 13/B).

level through the transparent outer wall.
4. Refit the tank cap and fasten it (Fig. 13/A). Check that it is securely fit-
