Note
Regular tap water can be used.
As water naturally contains lime, which can
lead to formation of scale over time, it is
recommended to use a mixture that con-
sists of 50% tap water and 50% distilled
water.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to incor-
rect filling of the water tank.
 Do not use condensation wa-
ter from the drier!
 Do not fill with detergent or
other additives (for example
fragrances)!
 Do not use pure distilled wa-
ter! Max. 50% distilled water
and 50% tap water.
 Do not use collected rain wa-
ter!

Note
The steam boiler is automatically supplied
with water from the water tank. Prior to the
initial start-up, the water tank must be filled
twice.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to empty
water filter container.
 Ensure that the water filter
container is always filled dur-
ing operation.

(FoamStop) to the water filter reservoir.

 Reinsert the water filter insert into the
water filter container.
Illustration
 Move the handle to its original position
until it locks in place.
Illustration
 Insert the water filter container into the
appliance using the handle.
Note: The functioning of the vacuum clean-
er 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 a capful of the
defoamer liquid to the water bath to avoid
this situation. Slight foam formation is nor-
mal and does not hamper the functioning of
the machine.
