Safety devices
Safety devices protect the user and
may not be disabled or functionally cir-
cumvented.
Safety latch
● The handle has a safety latch on the
steam switch to prevent accidental
release of steam flow.
● If the steam suction hose is unat-
tended for a short time during oper-
ation, it is recommended to activate
the fuse (pull out the fuse catch). To
release the steam flow again, deac-
tivate the fuse (push in the fuse
catch).
Cleaning methods
Cleaning of various materials
● Before treating leather, special fab-
rics and wooden surfaces, read the
manufacturer's instructions and al-
ways make a test on a hidden spot
or sample. Allow the steam treated
surface to dry to check if any colour
or shape changes have occurred.

● When cleaning wooden surfaces
(furniture, doors, etc.), it is recom-
mended to be particularly careful, as
steam treatment for too long can
damage the wax coatings, the gloss
or the colour of the surfaces. There-
fore, it is recommended to use
steam only in short intervals for
these surfaces, or to clean them with
a previously steamed cloth.
● For particularly sensitive surfaces
(e.g. synthetic materials, painted
surfaces, etc.) it is recommended to
use the steam function with mini-
mum thickness.
● Cleaning stainless steel: Avoid the
use of abrasive brushes. Use the
manual nozzle with rubber lip or
spotlight nozzle without round
brush.
Freshening textiles
Always check the compatibility of the
textiles at a concealed point before us-
ing the device on textiles: First steam
the textile, allow it to dry and then
check it for any change in colour or
shape.
Cleaning of coated or painted
Wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings
or paint can come off or stains may oc-
cur when cleaning painted or plastic-
coated surfaces such as e.g. kitchen
and living room furniture, doors, par-
quet or linoleum. To clean these sur-
faces, steam a cloth briefly and wipe it
over the surfaces.
