Activates the compressed air at the nozzle. (Only if the unit is
correctly connected to a compressor on the back of the housing.)
50% pressed down
Activates the steam. (On Elmasteam 10 this key also activates
the hot water. Optional: the ES 10 can be operated with hot
water via the left outlet connection.)
100% pressed down
Keep the cleaning item approx. 1 cm from the nozzle when
holding it into the steam zone. Check the cleaning result at short
intervals (visual inspection).
Cleaning of the items
If the unit is connected to an external compressed air supply, the
nozzle can be used for compressed air, too. The cleaning item
can be dried with compressed air.

6.1
Operation with hot water (Elmasteam 10 only)
On the Elmasteam 10 the outlet on the left (either flexible hand
piece or fixed nozzle) can be operated with hot water. This
alternative operating mode is optional and must be requested on
ordering the unit, so that the steam cleaner can be manufactured
accordingly.
6.2
Operation with compressed air
After the cleaning o the item (steam or hot water), there is a
residual humidity on the material which can easily be dried by
means of compressed air.
All units are fitted with a norm-sized connection for compressed
air on the back of the housing. If a compressor is available the
unit can be connected to the compressed air system
(max. 6 bar !)
. (Connection

). The Elmasteam
can now be switched over between steam and compressed air
operating mode on the hand piece or by foot-activated switch.
