from transport.
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! Never fill an appliance with water when it is
connected to the mains.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Use no additives such as cleansers, alcohol, perfumes
or chemicals in your water. These make the use of the appliance unsafe.
WARNING:
Risk of scalding! The water tank is under pressure as soon as the appli-
ance is switched on. Even after disconnecting the appliance from the
mains, steam pressure may remain:
1. Pull out the plug after use.
2. Discharge the steam by pressing the steam button.
3. Allow the appliance to cool down for approx. 30 mins.
4. Screw open cap.
If the cap still will not open after steps 1–4, push down the red pin in the
cap. Only then can you unscrew the tank cap and fill the water tank as
follows.
1. If the appliance was previously in operation:
1. Pull out the plug after use.
2. Discharge the steam by pressing the steam button.

still be hot. To refill it, use the funnel and refilling container supplied only.
3. Fill the included filling container with cold, clear tap water up to the 0.7
litre mark.
NOTE:
The service life of the appliance can be extended by using distilled water
instead of tap water. This is especially recommended in areas with hard
water.
4. Put the supplied funnel into the opening of the water tank (Fig. 4/A).
5. Fill the water tank by emptying the refilling container into the funnel
(Fig. 4/B).

into the water tank.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the tank. Be aware of any residual water in the tank.
7. Refit the tank cap and fasten it by turning clockwise (Fig. 5). Check that
it is securely fitted.
