(scalding hazard!). A damaged steam hose
must be replaced without delay. Only hoses
and connecting elements approved by the
manufacturer may be used.
Refer to the Operating Instructions for order
number and original equipment designation.
Never fill the boiler with solvent-bearing
liquids or undiluted acids! This particularly
includes cleaning agents, petrol or paint
thinner. EXPLOSION HAZARD! Also, do not
