Carpet glider
The carpet glider is used for freshening up carpets.
ATTENTION
Beware of damaging the carpet glider and carpet
Contamination on the carpet glider, as well as heat and
moisture penetration, can result in the carpet being
damaged.
Prior to the application, also check the heat resistance
and impact of steam on the carpet at an insignificant
spot using as small an amount of steam as possible.
Observe the cleaning instructions from the carpet man-
ufacturer.
Prior to using the carpet glider, make sure that the car-
pet has been vacuumed and that stains have been re-
moved.
Prior to application and following operating pauses, re-
move any possible water accumulation (condensate) in
the appliance by means of evaporating the condensate
into a drain (without floor cleaning cloth / with accesso-
ries).
Only use the carpet glider with a floor cleaning cloth on
the floor nozzle.
Steam clean with a weak steam stage when using the
carpet glider.
In order to prevent too much moistening and to avoid
the risk of damage due to temperature effects, do not di-
rect the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum
5 seconds).
Do not use the carpet glider on deep-pile carpets.
Fastening the carpet glider to the floor nozzle
1. For fastening the floor cleaning cloth to the floor
nozzle, please refer to chapter Floor nozzle.
Illustration Q
2. Using a little force, allow the floor nozzle to slide into
the carpet glider and engage there.

Care and service

Draining the water reservoir
ATTENTION
Device damage due to water putrefaction
If the device is not put into operation for more than 2
months, the water in the reservoir may putrefy.
Drain the water reservoir before breaks in operation.
1. Press the On/Off switch.
The device has been switched off.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
3. Remove the accessories from the accessory hold-
ers.
4. Remove the decalcification cartridge from the de-
vice.
5. Drain the water reservoir.
Illustration S
Replacing the decalcification cartridge
ATTENTION
Device damage and shortened service life
If the replacement intervals (indicator light) for the de-
calcification cartridge are not observed, there is a risk of
device damage and the service life of the device may be
shortened.
Observe the replacement intervals (indicator light).
Note
The replacement intervals depends on the local water
hardness. Areas with hard water (e.g. III/IV) have a
higher replacement interval than areas with soft water
(e.g. I/II).
Indicator lamp at end of the run time
The "decalcification cartridge indicator light " indicates
when the decalcification cartridge has to be replaced:
● The indicator light flashes 2 hours before the run
time expires.
● The indicator light flashes more quickly 1 hour be-
fore the run time expires.
● Once the run time for the decalcification cartridge
has expired, the indicator light and the LED strip
light lights up in continuously red and the pump
switches off automatically in order to prevent device
damage.
Inserting the decalcification cartridge
ATTENTION
Device damage
There is a risk of damage to the device if the used de-
calcification cartridge is re-used.
Work carefully in order to prevent mixing up the cartridg-
es.
Note
When steaming for the first time after removing and re-
inserting the decalcification cartridge, the steam jet may
be weak or irregular, and individual drops of water may
be expelled. The device requires a short running-in pe-
riod in which the decalcification cartridge fills with water.
The steam volume that is expelled increases constantly
until the maximum steam volume has been reached af-
ter approx. 30 seconds.
1. Press the Off switch.
The device has been switched off.
2. Remove the decalcification cartridge.
3. Insert the new decalcification cartridge.
4. Press the On switch.
The device is switched on.
5. Press and hold the Maximum steam volume and
Reduced steam volume buttons at the same time
until the "Replace decalcification cartridge" goes
out. This means that the reset is complete.
6. Allow the device to heat up.
7. Press and hold the steam lever for approx. 30 sec-
onds to vent the decalcification cartridge.
Setting the water hardness
ATTENTION
Device damage due to calcification
Without a decalcification cartridge, the device may cal-
cify if the water hardness is set incorrectly.
Always work with a decalcification cartridge.
Set the device to the local water hardness.
