Notes
Upon initial start-up a small cloud of smoke may

exit the steam nozzle. The appliance requires a
short run-in time. At first, the escaping steam is ir-
regular and moist, some water drops may leak out.
The escaping amount of steam increases continu-
ously until the maximum amount is reached after
approx. one minute.
 Do not tilt the appliance too much to the side during
cleaning work (max. angle 30°).
Otherwise the steam cleaner "spits" water.
