To do so, insert the two grooves of the accessories into the
latches of the steam nozzle and turn clock wise until the
stop.
Danger
Hot water may drip out of the accessory parts while you are
detaching them! Never detach accessory parts while steam
streams out - risk of scalding!
Turn the installed accessories counterclockwise and pull
them off the steam nozzle.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
There is no safety lock in this device. Instead then the
usual cover without thread. You can add water at any time,
without waiting for the boiler to cool down, as with usual
steam cleaners.
Note: If you always use usual commercial distilled water it is
not necessary to descale the boiler.
Caution
Do not use condensation water from the drier!
Do not fill in detergents or other additives!

Note: The steam discharge does not stop immediately;
but it decreases continuously. There is no more steam
discharge after a few seconds.
HOW TO USE THE ACCESSORIES
Cleaning textiles and upholstery
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always check the
reaction of the textiles in an inconspicuous location: Steam
at first, then let dry and then check for colour or shape
changes.
Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, as found
on kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet; wax,
furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or
stains can be created. When cleaning these surfaces, briefly
steam a cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
Caution
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge band
may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on unsealed
wooden or parquet floors.
Cleaning of Glass
In case of low outside temperatures, especially in the win-
ter, warm up the window pane by slightly steaming the en-
tire glass surface. This will prevent tensions on the surface
which might lead to glass breakage.
Then clean the window surface with the hand nozzle and
attachment. Use a squeegee to remove the water or wipe
the surfaces dry.
Caution
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations
of the window frame to prevent damage.
Steam nozzle
Use the steam nozzle without accessories,
– to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by
steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.
– to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance of 20-
40 cm.
– for moist dusting, by briefly steaming the cloth and wip-
ing the furniture with it.
Steam gun
You can use the steam gun without any additional acces-
sories, e.g.:
– to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by
steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.
– to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance of 20-
40 cm.
– for moist dusting, by briefly steaming the cloth and wip-
ing the furniture with it.
Detail nozzle
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the
higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the
steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suited
for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings, drains,
sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy limescale can be
drenched in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. Let the vin-
egar penetrate for about 5 minutes.
Round brush
The round brush can be installed onto the detail nozzle as
an accessory. Attached brushes can therefore be used to
remove heavy soiling.
Caution
Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.
SAFETY DEVICES
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not be modified
or bypassed.
Pressure controller
The pressure controller keeps the boiler pressure during
the operation as constant as possible. The heating is turned
off if the maximum operating pressure of 4 bar is reached
in the boiler and is reactivated in case of a pressure drop in
the boiler due to steam tapping.
Safety lock
The safety lock seals the boiler against the steam pressure
that builds up in the boiler. If the pressure controller is
defect and the steam pressure in the boiler rises, a pressure
control valve in the safety lock opens, and steam is emitted
through the lock to the outside.
CARE OF THE ACCESSORIES
Note: The floorcloth and the terry cloth cover have been
pre-washed and can be used immediately for working with
the steam cleaner.
You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry cloth covers in the
washing machine at 60°C. Do not use a liquid softener as
this would affect the ability of the cloths to pick up dirt. You
may tumble dry the cloths.
