❐
Never direct the steam at people, animals or equipment which contains electrical com-
ponents (e.g. oven interiors, refrigerators, switches and lights, microwaves etc.).
❐
Beware - risk of scalding!
Never touch the appliance's cleaning head/attachment while
in use.
❐
The floor cleaning cloth can remain very hot for a short time after use. If you want to re
-
move it, wait until it has cooled down and the appliance is no longer emitting any steam.
❐
Put the appliance back in its place only when it has completely cooled down.
Important points to note before use
• Water residue in the filter and in the tank can be attributed to the appliance having been
tested.
• When using the appliance for the first time, or if the appliance has not been used for a
long time, it may take some time after switching on for steam to be generated, as the
appliance's pipes are not yet filled with water. Steam can only be emitted when the ap
-
pliance has reached its operating temperature and the appropriate parts of the appliance
have filled with water. To do this, press the steam activator several times.
Filling the water tank
1. Press both the unlatching buttons on the water tank (
4
) at
the same time and remove the water tank from the base
unit.
2. Turn the water tank catch (
3
) anticlockwise slightly and
remove it from the tank.
3. Fill the tank with water. If you want to use a fragrance addi-
tive, follow the instructions that come with it.
4. Then lock the water tank by replacing the water tank catch
and turning it clockwise.
5. Place the water tank back into the base unit. Press it down
until it is firmly in place.
Use as a floor steam cleaner
It is recommended that the floor is swept with a brush or vacuum cleaned before using the
appliance.
1. If the base unit (
2
) is already in the stand for floor cleaning, miss out the following steps
1 to 3.
If the adapter (
25
) (with an attachment) is fitted to the base unit, press on the adapter's
unlatching lever (
26
) and remove it from the base unit.
2. Insert the base unit's steam outlet nozzle into the adapter in
the bottom part of the stand for floor cleaning.
3. Press the handle of the base unit into the stand until you
