Use
CAUTION!
• Never aim steam directly at people, animals or plants. This can cause severe scald-
ing.
• Only ever hold the device by the handle and not by the attachment while operating
the device as it can become very hot. There is a danger of scalding!
• Always work with suf
fi
cient lighting.
• Make sure that you do not trip over the mains cable while using the device.
• Never use the device without water!
• Never use the device on cold glass surfaces or at outside temperatures of below
10 °C. The hot steam could cause the glass to shatter.
• Always try cleaning
fi
rst at a small, inconspicuous spot.
• Never direct the steam at one spot for too long.
• The water reservoir must not be opened during use!
•
The device has a a safeguard (
13
) which blocks the steam trigger (
15
) so
that it cannot be pressed accidentally. To (de)activate the safeguard, push in
the securing pin.
•
Water may emerge from the attachment when you
fi
rst start using it. This is
normal and does not constitute a defect with the device.
•
As the pipe in the device has to
fi
ll with steam, you may need to press the
steam trigger (
16
) several times when you start using it before steam starts
emerging.
•
How much steam is emitted depends mainly on the speed and frequency
with which the steam trigger (
15
) is pressed. The faster you press it, the more
steam is emitted. However, this is at the expense of the temperature.
1. Attach the attachment you want to the device (see the "Mounting the Accessories"
chapter) and
fi
ll the water reservoir (
18
) (see the "Filling the Water Reservoir" chapter).
2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket that is easily accessible.
Steam starts to be generated and the control lamp (
17
) lights up.
3. Wait until the control lamp goes out. Operating temperature has then been reached
and you can start steam-cleaning: Press the steam trigger (
15
) and move the attach-
ment over the surface to be cleaned as you do so.
If the steam trigger cannot be pressed, the safeguard (
13
) has probably been
activated. Push in the securing pin to release the safeguard.
4. If the control lamp lights up, the temperature has dropped. Let go of the steam trigger
and only press it again once the control lamp has gone out.
5. If the water reservoir is empty, steam will no longer be produced. If you want to top
up the water in the reservoir (see the "Filling the Water Reservoir" chapter) or want to
stop working, pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool
down completely. Keep pressing the steam trigger if necessary until no more steam
emerges from the device. The water reservoir can then be opened.
6.
Empty and clean the water reservoir each time after you use the device
(see
below) to prevent deposits in the reservoir and thus damage to the device!
