Preparing the Appliance

Filling the steam boiler
" Open the safety cap (7) of the steam
boiler (Fig. 1).
" Fill 1.2 litre water into the steam boiler.
Note: You can use normal tap water. As
water naturally contains calcium that can
lead to the formation of deposits in the
boiler, we recommend the use of a mix-
ture consisting of 50% tap water and
50% distilled water.
" Close the safety cap () carefully.
Filling the water filter container
" Lift the handle (18) of the water filter con-
tainer (Fig. 2) and remove the water filter
container (17) (Fig. 3).
" Turn the handle as shown in Fig. 4 and
remove the water filter unit (19).
" Fill the water filter container (17) with tap
water till the water level marking MAX
H O is covered (Fig. 5).

" Add a cap full of foam stop to the water
filter container.
Note: The functioning of the vacuum cleaner
is based on the whirling of the suction air in
the water filter. In the process, sucked-in
materials and deposits of cleaning agents
from floors get collected in the water bath.
This can sometimes lead to the formation of
foam. It is necessary to add the foam stop
liquid to the water filter bath to avoid this sit-
uation. The foam stop liquid is environment-
friednly and fully bio-degradable. Slight
foam formation is normal and does not ham-
per the functioning of the machine.
" Insert the water filter inlay (19) back into
the water container (17).
" Lift the handle (18) of the water filter
container and insert the water filter con-
tainer (17) back into the machine.
" Bring the handle (18) back to its initial
position on the water filter container.
