3. Commissioning

3.1 Prior to commissioning

After unpacking the device, check immediately for
transport damage. Lodge a complaint immediately in
case of any transport damage.
Check the device for its proper condition. In particu­lar, check the mains connection for damage, such as
pinching, cracks or ageing! Do not commence

operation if the mains connection is damaged!

Have damaged mains connections replaced with an
equal or higher quality mains connection by techni­cal customer services or a skilled electrician.

Check the nominal voltage of the device prior

to connecting to the mains. The voltage given
on the type plate must correspond to the local mains
voltage. The mains connection plug is to be plugged
into a grounded, protected mains socket. Connect
the device via a fault-current circuit breaker (FI).

1. Fields of application

Steam cleaner with high-power and constant steam
for cleaning and degreasing all objects in the labora­tory, for example, models, metal frameworks,
stumps and instruments.

2. Safety precautions

It is essential to read the instructi­ons for use carefully prior to ope­ration and to keep these readily
available.

This symbol indicates safety pre­cautions where non-compliance
can lead to risks for persons.

This symbol indicates safety pre­cautions where non-compliance
can lead to damage of the device
and its function.

Attention! Non-compliance with these

safety precautions can lead to severe
burns and other serious injury of the user as
well as persons in the vicinity! Ensure that no
children are in reach of the device.

The device is to be checked for operational safety
prior to every use.
In particular this includes checking

• the mains connecting cable for pinching,

cracks or ageing,

• the water outlet screw on the base of the device

for tightness,

• the water filler nozzle for integrity and tight fit,

• the steam gun and the steam exhaust switch

for damage to the insulation,

• the steam hose for pinching, cuts or other

damage,

• the general external condition.

3.2 Location

Attention fire risk!

Place the device in a dry and even location.

Do not build the device into a cabinet. Do not
cover the ventilation slots of the device. Operate the
device exclusively in closed rooms which are not
subject to environmental conditions.

4. Handling

4.1 Filling water tank

Do not open the water filler nozzle when the

device is in operation or if the pressure indi­cator is not set to zero. Prior to every operation,
ensure that the water filler nozzle is closed securely.
Do not fill chemical or other additives into the devi­ce. Only use distilled water. Use filling bottle to
fill the device to avoid overflowing of the water tank
or spilling water.
Open water filler nozzle and attach filling bottle. The
weight of the water opens the filling bottle and water
flows into the water tank of the steam cleaner. After
filling, remove the filling bottle and close water tank
securely.

Water alarm

If the water level is too low, the red control

lamp will light up. Immediately stop work.
Switch OFF the device and wait until the pressure in
the device has dropped (observe pressure indica­tor). Once the pressure has dropped to 0, carefully
open the water filler nozzle slowly bit by bit until the
steam has escaped completely. Allow vessel to cool
off before renewed operation to avoid temperature
shock or fracture.
Fill water tank as described under 4.1. Switch device
back ON.

4.2 Operation

Do not direct steam gun at people or animals. The
device can heat up under prolonged use - risk of
burns. When the device is ready for operation,
do not touch the nozzle of the steam gun. Do not
operate the device with moist or wet hands. Always
keep the steam gun in the holder provided for this
purpose.

Ensure that there is sufficient water in the
water tank of the device.

Do not damage the mains connection, i.e, by
rolling over the cable, pulling or squeezing.
Always remove the mains connection by
pulling the plug from the socket, do not pull
the connecting cable. Protect plugs and
connectors of mains connections against
spray water.

Connect the device via the mains connector (see

3.1). Switch device ON at mains switch. The green
control lamp lights up and the device starts to heat
up. The dial on the pressure indicator slowly moves
upwards into the blue zone. After approx. 20 minutes
the green control light extinguishes. The device is
ready for operation.
Remove the steam gun from the holder by hand and
place in a water basin.
Water can exit the steam gun after initial operation of
the steam switch or after longer non-use (steam
cools off in the steam hose and condenses).
Set the desired volume of steam using the steam
pressure controller. When the device has heated up,
steam cleaning is possible without interruption. After
use, replace the steam gun on the holding bolt.
Switch the device OFF after use to save energy.

5. Maintenance and care

Empty the vessel regularly via the outlet screw on the
vessel floor and allow water with lime residues and
possible impurities to drain off. Clean device with a
dry cloth after use.

5.1 Descaling

Depending on use, but no later than
3 months, clean with a descaling agent,
i.e. FINO KALK-EX.

Fill the water tank of the cold device with water to
75 % and add 50 ml of descaling agent. Allow the
device to heat for 15 minutes. Switch device OFF and
vent steam for approx. 1 minute with the steam gun.
Allow the device to cool down completely until the
water tank is free of pressure. Slowly open the water
filler nozzle and remove. Loosen the outlet screw on
the bottom and empty vessel completely. Rinse
device with fresh water for approx. 2 - 3 minutes.

4

Retighten the outlet screw on the bottom and
fill device with water (see 4.1). Close water tank
securely, the device is ready for operation.

5.2 Replacing the fuse of the device

If the device cannot be switched on, the fuse may
have blown. Pull the plug of the device from the
socket. Unscrew the fuse holder of the device direct­ly next to the mains plug connector with a suitable
screwdriver. Replace the defective fuse of the device
with a new fuse, type 250 V/10 A F,. Screw fuse
holder back in. If the problem persists, contact
technical customer services.
