Preparing the Appliance
Filling the Water Reservoir
Note
Regular tap water can be used.
As water naturally contains lime, which can lead to for-
mation of scale over time, it is recommended to use a
mixture that consists of 50% tap water and 50% distilled
water.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to incorrect filling of the water
 Do not use condensation water from the drier! tank.
 Do not fill with detergent or other additives (for ex-
 Do not use pure distilled water! Max. 50% distilled ample fragrances)!
water and 50% tap water.
 Do not use collected rain water!

 Add one cap full of the defoaming liquid (Foam-
Stop) to the water filter reservoir.
Illustration
 Reinsert the water filter insert into the water filter
container.
 Move the handle to its original position until it locks Illustration
in place.
Illustration
 Insert the water filter container into the appliance
using the handle.
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 nec-
essary to add a capful of the defoamer liquid to the wa-
ter bath to avoid this situation. Slight foam formation is
normal and does not hamper the functioning of the ma-
chine.
Always place the machine in a horizontal position during
operation.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to accidental discharge of steam.
 Ensure that the release button is always activated
by the stop position during interruptions of work or
when the appliance is not supervised.
Note
In order to continue the steam release, deactivate the
stop position by pushing the button again.

 Tightly insert the steam plug into the appliance con-
nector. The plug must click into place audibly.
