cleaning
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before
each use. A damaged appliance must never be used.
ATTENTION:
Before starting cleaning, check whether the surface to be
cleaned is suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the
cleaning recommendations of the material manufactur-
ers. The steam mop is definitely not suitable for use on
uncoated wooden floors, soft plastics, and high-quality
furnishings. Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of
heat shock.
ATTENTION:
Operate the device only with the water tank filled. Ensure
that the water level in the water tank is always above the
MIN mark. Although the appliance is fitted with overheat-
ing protection, running it without water would shorten the
appliance’s service life.
NOTE:
The steam mop has overheating protection. It will switch
off automatically if overheated (e. g. due to an empty
water tank). If this happens, pull the mains plug and refill
the water tank

.
Wait for about 45 minutes. Once the steam mop has
cooled down you can switch it on again.
NOTE:
It is recommended to first sweep or vacuum-clean floors
to remove loose dirt before using the steam cleaner on
them.
NOTE:
Provide adequate ventilation during and after your clean-
ing work.
