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.

2. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

approx. 30 seconds.

The device is ready for use.

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.
