Turning the Appliance Off

• Turn the appliance off using the switch (A4).
• Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Disconnect the modular accessory plug (C5)

4. Notes on the operation

Cleaning of Textiles

Before you use the steam cleaner for the
cleaning of textiles, you should always test the
resistance of the fabrics against steam by means
of cleaning a hidden spot. Apply steam to the
hidden spot, and then let it dry. Check whether
the colour and shape of the area have changed.

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

Be careful when you clean kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquetry, lacquered or
plastic-coated surfaces! Upon a longer influence
of steam, wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings,
or paint may come off, or stains may occur.
Therefore, you should only clean such surfaces
using a piece of cloth to which steam has been
applied or very briefly using a double layer of
cloth on the nozzle.

Cleaning of Glass

In case of low outside temperatures, especially
in the winter, warm up the window pane. Apply
a small quantity of steam to the entire glass
surface. Thus, you compensate temperature
differences and avoid stresses in the glass
surface. This is of importance because glass
surfaces that are heated unevenly may crack.
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the
edge band may loosen. Do not use the steam
cleaner on wooden or parquetry floors that have
not been sealed.
Never direct the steam jet directly at the sealed
parts of the window around the window frame to
prevent damages of the sealing.
