4.2.1 Water alarm

If the water alarm of the unit responds stop working
immediately. Switch the unit off and wait until the
pressure inside the unit is reduced (Check pressure
gauge). Carefully open the water filler bit by bit. Fill
the water tank with distilled water and close it again
tightly. Now you can switch the unit on again.

5. Maintenance and cleaning

The unit can be cleaned with a dry cloth.

5.1 Descaling

It is recommended to clean the unit with
FINO KALK-EX depending on use but at least
after 3 months.

Therefore fill the cold unit up to 75% with water. Now
add 50ml descaling agent in the water tank. Leave
the unit heating for 15 minutes. Now switch the unit
off and activate the steam gun for approx. 1 minute.
Subsequently let the unit cool completely until the
water tank is completely free of pressure. Open the
filling nozzle carefully and remove it slowly. Now
remove the drain screw on the rear side of the unit
and empty the tank completely. Rinse the unit with
fresh water for approx. 2-3 minutes. Tighten the
drain screw on the rear side again and fill the unit
with distilled water. Close the water tank again. The
unit is again ready for operation.

5.2 Replacement of unit fuse

If the unit cannot be switched on it may be that the
unit fuse is blown out. Firstly pull the unit plug out 
of the socket. Now unscrew the fuse holder with a
suitable screwdriver. Replace the faulty unit fuse
with a new bulb fuse type 250 V /10 A F. Screw the

ENU

Only a qualified specialist or an authorised supplier
is allowed to do maintenance and repairs. FINO is
not liable for damages caused by non-pertinent use
or operation that is not according to specifications.

3. Commencement of operation
3.1 Before commencement of operation 

Check the power cable regularly for damages
as e.g. jamming, formation of breaks or
ageing!

If the power cable is damaged the unit must not be
operated! To avoid any risks let the technical custo-
mer service or an electrician repair the power cable!
The power cable may only be re placed by a type that
is stated in the user information. Do not damage
power cables by e.g. tearing, jamming or driving
over. Always unplug the power cable directly at the
socket. Do not pull at the power cable. Check that
the unit is in a state in compliance with the specifi-
cations. Plugs and couplings of power cables must
at least be water-resistant. Check the voltage of the
unit before you connect it to the mains supply. Make
sure that the voltage on the unit label matches the
local voltage of the mains supply.
It is recommended to connect the unit through an
earth leakage protection unit (FI). It interrupts the
mains supply when the earth leakage exceeds 30 mA
for 30 ms.
Please check the unit for transportation damages
immediately after unpacking. All transportation
damages must be claimed promptly. Check the 
voltage given on the type label of the unit and make
sure it corresponds with your mains supply.
If the data match you can plug the unit in a grounded
socket.
Serially the support for the steam gun is mounted on
the left side. Though it can also be mounted on the
right side. The drillings are already provided.

3.2 Place of installation

Caution! Risk of fire!

Do not install the unit inside a cabinet. Do

never cover the air vents of the unit. Take care of an
even and dry place of installation.

4. Operation
4.1 Filling of water tank

Never open the water filler while the unit is in
operation or the pressure gauge is not in the

zero position. Make sure that the water filler is
always tightly closed before you put the unit into
operation. Do not fill the unit with chemicals or other
additives except for the ones authorised by the
manufacturer. Use only distilled water. To avoid
over-filling of the water tank or spilling of water use
always the filling bottle for refilling the unit.
Fill the distilled water in the filling bottle and screw
the cap back on the bottle. Open the water filler and
insert the cap of the filling bottle in the inlet opening
of the unit. The weight of the water opens the filling
bottle and the water flows into the water tank of the
steam cleaner. After the water has completely flown
into the water tank you can remove the filling bottle
and again seal the water tank tightly.

4.2 Operation

Do never aim the steam gun at persons or 
animals. The unit can heat up after longer

use. Caution – risk of scalding. Never touch the
nozzle of the steam gun when the unit is ready-
to-operate. Never clean units respectively areas,
which are under, power. Do not operate the unit with
moist or wet hands. Always place the steam gun in
the provided support. 

Make sure that sufficient water is in the water
tank of the unit.

Switch the unit on with the main switch. The green
control light starts glowing and the unit heats. The
pointer of the pressure gauge moves slowly upwards
in the direction of the blue area. After approx. 
20 minutes the green control light expires. The unit is
ready for operation. Take the steam gun from the
support in your hand and hold it in a washbasin. On
the first push of the steam switch or after the unit has
not been used for some time it may happen that
water escapes from the steam gun. This is comple-
tely normal because the water steam is cooled inside
the hose and so again condenses. Now select the
desired steam pressure using the steam pressure
regulator. The heating of the unit is so powerful that
you can use the steam cleaner continuously after the
unit has been heated up. After use place the steam
gun back into the support. To save energy switch the
unit off when you not longer use it.
