Switching on the device
ATTENTION
Device and material damage due to tipping over
The device can fall over and be damaged if inadequate-
ly secured during work breaks or storage. Liquid can al-
so leak out and damage the floor covering in the
process.
Position the device with the floor nozzle on a solid base,
or the handle with the wall anti-slip protection in a verti-
cal position on a solid wall.
Installation information
When steaming for the first time after removing and re-
inserting the decalcification cartridge, the steam jet may
be weak or irregular, and individual drops of water may
be expelled. The device requires a short running-in pe-
riod in which the decalcification cartridge fills with water.
The steam volume that is expelled increases constantly
until the maximum steam volume has been reached af-
ter approx. 50 seconds.
Note
Please note that here it is set to steam stage 2 (tiles/
stone), since the running-in period will otherwise be ex-
tended.
1. Place the device on a firm surface.

Regulating the steam volume
The steam volume setting depends on the surface to be
cleaned.
Note
Controlling the volume of steam only works for the SC 2
Upright EasyFix. Only one steam stage is available for
the KST 2 Upright.
 Press the button with the direction arrows on the
handle repeatedly until the desired steam stage is
selected.

ume.
