5. Operation
5.6 Operating with steam
When operating temperatures are above
98 °C, the operating pressure must not exceed
32 bar. Thus, the standard high-pressure
nozzle must be replaced by a steam nozzle
(available as an accessory).
Adjust the thermostat to the desired tem-
perature.
We recommend the following cleaning
temperatures:
100–110 °C for depreservation, dirt containing
high levels of grease
up to 140 °C for thawing aggregates, partial
cleaning of facades.
Rotate the pressure and volume control on
the pump head to the lowest value.
When you have finished operating the
appliance with steam, you should adjust the
appliance switch to the “ ” symbol, and run
the appliance for approx. 2 minutes with the
gun open to allow it to cool down.

The unit has two high-pressure outlets, to
which it is possible to connect two hand-held
spray guns.
Unscrew the blanking plug from the second
high-pressure outlet and connect another
handgun via a high-pressure hose
(accessories).
The high-pressure nozzle suitable for use
with one handgun should be replaced with
two nozzles (Nozzle size 25052)
The two pumps are switched in and out via
pressure switches depending on the demand
for water.
