1. Starting the unit

1.4 Switching the unit ON

•Plug the unit into a electrical wall outlet, and switch it on by means of the steam supply switch and the heater switch. Indicator lamps should be illuminated.

Note: The full heat rating will only be available if the modular accessory plug is connected to the main unit while it is heating up.

•When the heater indicator lamp extinguishes, the system is ready for use.

Note: Do not place the unit in an upright position while it is switched ON. Otherwise the heater will automatically switch OFF after a short interval, and the red indicator lamp (low water warning) will light up.

•For transporting the unit, switch the heater OFF by means of the heater switch.

•When you press the steam switch, steam is expelled from the steam gun. Always direct the steam gun at a piece of cloth until the steam flows evenly out of the nozzle.

•The heater is switched on continually while the unit is in use (indicator lamp lights up), so that the pressure inside the boiler is maintained at a constant level.

•If you have switched the unit on and there is no water in the boiler, heater indicator lamp will light up initially before the low-water thermostat switches the heater off. The low-water indicator lamp will then light up.

1.5 Refilling the boiler with water

Note:When there is no water left in the additional tank, a warning signal is sounded and the LOW WATER WARNING lamp for the additional tank illuminates.

•Using the funnel, fill the additional tank with a maximum of 0,5 gal (2 litres) of tap water.

•When the HEATER indicator lamp extinguishes, the cleaner is ready for use again.

Note: If the pump does not deliver any water, although the additional tank is full, it is a sign that the boiler requires descaling – see 3.1 Descaling the boiler.

1.6 Switching the unit OFF

•Switch the unit OFF by means of switches.

•Remove the modular plug from the main unit, while lifting up the socket cover at the same time.

•Remove the plug from the mains socket.

•Any remaining water can be left inside the unit.

1.7 Transporting the unit

•If you have been working with the extension tubes and the floor nozzle, it is quite easy to transport the unit.

•Turn the heater OFF with switch, stand the unit upright, and attach the extension tube to the retaining bracket on the underside of the main unit.

1.8 Storing the unit

•Place the hand and spot nozzles, together with the smaller items, in the accessory compartment.

•Wind the cable around the holder on the base of the main unit. Attach the floor nozzle to one of the extension tubes, and insert both tubes into the recesses in the base of the unit.

•Ensure that the brushes are allowed to cool down without the bristles becoming deformed in the process.

The Zephyr is noted for its streamlined design, which not only imparted a distinctive aesthetic but also enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, allowing for high-speed travel across the rail network.

One of the main features of the Windsor Zephyr is its impressive performance capabilities. The locomotive is powered by a powerful steam engine that generated a massive amount of horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds that were unmatched at the time. This combination of power and sleek design facilitated a smooth and swift travel experience. The train could accommodate a limited number of passengers but offered lavish amenities, making it a favorite choice for the elite and dignitaries.

Technologically, the Windsor Zephyr incorporated several advancements for its time, including a modern braking system that improved safety and efficiency during longer journeys. The air brakes, alongside traditional steam brakes, provided a dual system that enhanced control. Additionally, the train utilized innovative engineering techniques in its construction, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and durability.

The interiors of the Windsor Zephyr were a testament to luxury. Passengers could indulge in plush seating, meticulously designed dining areas, and elegant lounge spaces. Features like large panoramic windows provided breathtaking views of the passing countryside, adding to the overall travel experience. The attention to detail extended to the onboard services, where high-quality dining options were served to cater to the needs of discerning travelers.

In summary, the Windsor Zephyr remains a symbol of the golden age of rail travel, characterized by its streamlined design, impressive speed, and luxurious accommodations. Its pioneering technology and exquisite craftsmanship set the standard for future trains, making it a cherished part of railway history. The legacy of the Windsor Zephyr endures, reminding us of a time when train journeys were synonymous with luxury, comfort, and adventure.
