How to Use the Accessories

Please read the cleaning instructions of the manu-
facturer before treating leather, special fabrics and
wooden surfaces and always do a trial on a sample
or some hidden part. Let the steam-treated surface
dry and then check whether there are any changes
to the colour or form on account as reaction to the
steam.

We recommend that you be very careful while
cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.)
because long exposure to steam can damage the
wax coating, the finish or the surface colours.
Hence we recommend that you use steam only for
short intervals or first clean the surface with a cloth

that has been steam-moistened.
For highly sensitive surfaces (for e.g. synthetic ma-
terials, painted surfaces, etc.) we recommend that
you use the steam function at the minimum perfor-

mance level.
Cleaning of stainless steel: Avoid the use of abra-
sive brushes. Use hand nozzle with rubber lip or
detail nozzle without a round brush.
Refreshing textiles

Always test the compatibility of the fabrics on a hid-
den spot prior to treating them with the appliance:
Steam first, then allow to dry before checking for
colour changes or deformation.
Floor nozzle
ATTENTION
 Sensitive floors, such as parquet floors may only be Material damage if the setting of the steam level is too high.
cleaned with the highest suction performance and
minimum steam level.
Application examples

Cleaning of large surfaces, floors made of ceram-
 ics, marble, parquet, carpets, etc.
Floor nozzle with brush strip insert: For etching and
scrubbing down stubborn soiling.

Floor nozzle with rubber lip insert: For vacuuming

 To secure the insert, slide the locking mechanism
inwards.
 Removing the insert: Slide the locking mechanism
 Remove the insert. outwards again.
The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty spot, the
higher the cleaning effect as temperature and pressure
of the steam reach their maximum values immediately
when they are emitted from the nozzle.
Application examples

The use of the detail nozzle is recommended for
 hard to reach areas.
Cleaning of stainless steel, window panes, mirrors
and enamel surfaces.

Especially well-suited for small washable areas,
shower stalls and mirrors.
Cleaning of Glass
ATTENTION
Material damage due to steam release onto cold win-
dow panes.
 In seasons with particularly low temperatures, pre-
warm the window panes by releasing steam with a
distance of approx. 50 cm to the surface to be treated.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to steam release onto sealed
spots of the window frame.  Do not level the steam at these spots.
 Apply steam to the glass surface from a distance of
approximately 20 cm until the surface is moistened
evenly.
 Switch off the steam supply.
