tration according to the surface to be cleaned.
Note: To prevent damage due to too much pressure, al-
ways position high pressure ray first from a greater dis-
tance towards object to be cleaned.

If the device is connected to a chimney, the following
must be observed:
ATTENTION
Threat of damage by penetrating cold air through the
chimney.
 Disconnect device from chimney when outside
temperature drops below 0 °C.
If it is not possible to store frost free, shut down device.
For longer work breaks or if a frost free storage is not
possible:
 Empty detergent tank.
 Drain water.
 Flush device with anti-freeze agent.
Dump water
