Note
In this mode, to protect against possible damage to the
device, steam operation is no longer possible. Steam
operation is therefore only possible again after the des-
caling cartridge has been successfully replaced, see
chapter Initial Start-Up
Inserting the decalcification cartridge
ATTENTION
Device damage
There is a risk of damage to the device if the used de-
calcification cartridge is re-used.
Work carefully in order to prevent mixing up the new and
old cartridge.
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. 30-60 seconds.
Note
The water tank must be removed before changing the
descaling cartridge and inserted again after it has been
changed, see chapter Initial Start-Up

Care of accessories
(Accessories - depending on scope of delivery)
Note
The cloths are not suitable for the dryer.
Note
For optimum cleaning performance, we recommend
machine washing the cloths once before first use.
When washing, observe the notes on the washing tag.
Do not use any liquid softeners as this will affect the abil-
ity of the cloths to pick up dirt.
1. Wash the floor cleaning cloths and covers at a max.
temperature of 60 °C in the washing machine.

ed to the mains or has not yet cooled down is always
dangerous.
