Safety Notes
General Safety Notes
•All equipment undergoes final inspection and testing before leaving our factory. However,
if equipment is damaged during shipping or through any other circumstances, it must not
be used in service. Please check the device regularly for damages. Damaged parts
should be replaced immediately.
•All power/air/water/gas sources should be rated for the demands of the device as listed in
the technical data sheets. Maximum ratings must not be exceeded. All VDE (Verein
Deutscher Elektro-Ingenieure) standards should be followed. Equipment should be
grounded according to standards.
•Adherence to valid regulations regarding necessary checks (e.g. according to Accident
Prevention & Insurance or electrical equipment) is exclusively taken over by the
buyer/user of this product.
•This device has been designated to be used only for its intended purpose. All other
applications must be prohibited for safety reasons as otherwise the manufacturer’s
warranty expires.
•The device should be set-up in a clean, well-ventilated room, if necessary under a hood.
•Supporting surfaces should be straight, flat and adequately stable.
•Don’t place anything on top of the machine.
•To avoid injury, appropriate protection should be worn (e.g. gloves, safety glasses, safety
shoes, hearing protection etc.)
•If the machine is defective or working improperly it must be taken out of service. In case
of further use of the machine the owner will be held responsible for any consequential
damage.
•To prevent accidents from water, fire or explosion, all power/air/water/gas sources should
be turned off after working hours and during breaks, and secured against unauthorized
access.
•When carrying out maintenance works or repairs or when opening the device always turn
off the main power switch and unplug the whole unit.
•Repairs should be carried out only by the manufacturer or by qualified and certified
personnel appointed according to chapter 7 –warranty.
•In case of leaking water out of housing or tank shut down device and call service.
•Check all hose joints for tightness, if necessary fasten clamps.

Specific Safety Instructions
Note:
•Keep a safe distance of at least 100 mm from the safety valve (back of the device) to
circulation areas or workplaces –Danger of scalding.
•Ground yourself by touching the steam gun handle (7) and the contact screw (15).
Alternatively lay your flat hand on the steam cleaner’s housing. (Gases or fluids flowing
through pipes generate static electricity. For safety reasons static electricity is
discharged during evaporation by the contact screw at the steam gun handle. If the user
gets an electric shock when touching the device or the steam gun, the person was
exposed to static electricity before. The combination of floor covering and shoe soles is
often the reason, falling outside the sphere of influence of the steam cleaner’s
manufacturer.)
•We recommend to fill the device only with decalcified or distilled water (damage due to
limescale deposits is not covered by warranty). Decalcification depending on water
hardness every one or two weeks. Not necessary if distilled water is used (we
recommend special accessories: Water softening device DELIMER).
•The device must not be filled under pressure and not be connected to the water supply.
•The steam jet is only to be aimed at objects which need cleaning, never at living beings.
•Only clean objects appropriate for this purpose, if necessary first clean sample or test on
an inconspicuous area.
•The tank cap (6) may only be opened if the device is not under pressure.
•The device may not be filled when the radiator is hot and the tank is empty (danger of
scalding).
•The device should be filled every morning when it is still cold in order to preserve the
heating aggregates as well as the gaskets. Furthermore an unintended break will be
avoided.
•In case of leaking water (caution: hot) out of housing or tank shut down the device (see
chapter 5 troubleshooting).
•Gases or fluids flowing through closed tubes or hoses generate static electricity. It should
be continuously discharged. If static electricity is noticeable before using the steam gun,
the user was exposed to static electricity before (e.g. carpets, shoes).
•Observe minimum distances.

Installation
The electric equipment is being delivered fully installed. The sealed plug can be connected
directly to the mains supply 230 V/16 A. For installation please refer to chapter 2.
Operating Instructions
Chronological run of operation
1. Use the device only when it’s filled with water. (Pay attention to the safety notes in
chapter 2). In order to avoid an unintended dry run a daily filling in the morning is
recommended. Turn the heating control (5) completely to the left (if necessary ventilate
tank by activating steam gun). Fill the device only in a cold state. Open tank cap (6) and
fill in distilled or decalcified water up to the edge (a filling funnel is recommended). Close
the tank cap (6) hand-tight.
2. Attach the required steam nozzle or brush (16 / 18 / 19) and be sure it is securely
attached during steam cleaning.
3. Turn power switch (2) on. Set heating control (5) to max. by turning in clockwise direction.
After the maximum pressure has built up and the control lamp (4) goes out. If the heating
control is not set to max., the control lamp heating (4) might shine, although the tank was
filled up. However the STEAMY MINI is ready for operation, but at low temperature. The
heating is automatically activated and the lamp (4) shines.
4. Adjust steam pressure with controller (5).
5. For dry steam please press steam gun switch (13). (Pressure builds up only in the upper
quadrant of the controller area. Pressure builds up with a slight delay.)
6. For nozzle change use the special tool (17) when the nozzle (18 / 19) is too hot or the
steam brush has been attached too tight. Slide the tool (17) with its round opening over
the steam nozzle or brush (18 / 19), gently press together and detach the nozzle or
brush. When attaching another nozzle or brush be sure it is securely attached during
steam cleaning.
Caution:
The metal nozzles (18 / 19) can become very hot during operation. Therefore please use
the special tool (17) for nozzle change.

11
Decalcify the device when using non-distilled water
1. Turn off power switch (2).
2. Let the machine cool down and empty the tank.
3. Fill in decalcifying agent. (Note: Use decalcifying agent only for its intended purpose and
respect the manufacturer’s instructions!)
4. Close the tank cap (6).
5. Turn power switch (2) on. As soon as pressure starts building up (control by activating
steam gun switch), turn the controller down (5). For decalcifying the steam valve put the
device in some short intervals on the left side and activate the steam gun switch (13).
Then put the device in an upright position and let the decalcifying agent take effect.
6. Let the device cool down, let off steam and empty the tank. For easy emptying, use the
optional decalcifying pump (manual operation).
