How to Use the Accessories

Important application instructions
Cleaning floor surfaces
It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the floor prior
to using the steam cleaner. This way, the floor is already
cleared of dirt/loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.
Refreshing textiles
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always check
the reaction of the textiles in an inconspicuous location:
Steam at first, then let dry and then check for colour or
shape changes.
Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, as
found on kitchen and living room furniture, doors, par-
quet; wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When cleaning
these surfaces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the sur-
faces with it.
ATTENTION
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge
band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on un-
sealed wooden or parquet floors.
