Important application instructions
Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing.
Freshening up textiles
Prior to using the appliance, always check the compati-
bility of the textiles at a concealed point: Steam down
the textile, allow it to dry and then check it for any
change in colour or shape.
Cleaning coated or painted surfaces
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings
or paint and edge band from edges.
Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as the
edge band may loosen.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning unsealed wood or
parquet floors.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning painted or plastic
coated surfaces such as kitchen or living room furniture,
doors or parquet.
1. To clean these surfaces, steam a cloth briefly and
use it to wipe over the surfaces.
Glass cleaner
ATTENTION
Glass breakages and damaged surfaces
Steam can damage sealed points of the window frame
and, at low outside temperatures, lead to tension on the
surface of window panes and hence to glass breakages.
Do not direct the steam at sealed points on the window
frame.
At low outside temperatures, heat up the window panes
by gently steaming the full surface of the glass.
Clean the window area with a manual nozzle and
cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or wipe
the surfaces dry.
How to use the Accessories
Steam gun
The steam gun can be used for the following applica-
tions without accessories:
For removing slight creases from the hanging cloth-
ing items: Steam the clothing item from a distance of
10-20 cm.
For wiping damp dust: Steam a cloth briefly and use
it to wipe over the furniture.
Spotlight nozzle
The spotlight nozzle is suitable for cleaning areas, joins,
fittings, drains, sinks, WCs, blinds or radiators that are
difficult to access. The closer the spotlight nozzle is to
the soiled area, the greater the cleaning efficiency will
be as the temperature and steam volume are at their
highest at the nozzle opening. Larger lime deposits can
be treated before steam cleaning with a suitable deter-
gent. Allow the detergent to soak in for
approx. 5 minutes and then steam it off.
1. Slide the spotlight nozzle onto the steam gun.
