In order to protect the environment, we
recommend that detergent is used sparingly.

We offer an individual range of detergents
and preservatives and therefore guarantee

Unsuitable detergents can damage the

Spray on detergent sparingly and allow to
react for 1–5 minutes.
Step 2: Removing the dirt
Spray off the dissolved dirt with the high-

metering valve to “0” and rinse the appliance
thoroughly with the gun open for approx.
1 minute.
