5. How to use the accessories
• If there are traces of detergent or polish on
the surface that you are cleaning (e.g. wax,
liquid polish, etc.), this could result in st-
reaks. As a rule these streaks disappear af-
ter the steam cleaner has been used several
times.
Typical applications:
– all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g. stone
floors, tiles and PVC floors.
5.4 Hand nozzle (F1)
Pull the terry-towelling slip-on (F2) over the
hand nozzle (F1).
Typical applications:
– smaller, washable areas, such as kitchen surfaces
made from plastic, tiled walls
– windows, mirrors
– furniture fabrics
– vehicle interiors, windscreens
– bath-tubs
5.5 Window nozzle (H1)
• Before you clean a glass surface with the win-
dow nozzle for the first time, go over it with
the hand nozzle (F1) and terry-towelling slip-
on (F2) to remove any traces of grease.
• Apply steam evenly to the glass surface from
a distance of approx. 20 cm. When you have
done this, push the locking mechanism on the
steam gun towards the rear (child lock) (C4)
so that the steam switch (C3) cannot be pres-
sed inadvertently. Squeegee the glass sur-
face in straight lines from top to bottom. Wipe
the rubber lip and the bottom edge of the win-
dow dry after each pass.
Typical applications:
– windows
– mirrors
– other glass surfaces
5.1 Steam gun (C1)
The steam gun can be used without any additio-
nal accessories.
Typical applications:
– eliminating odours and creases in clothing:
hang the item of clothing up and apply steam from
a distance of 10–20 cm.
– removing dust from plants:
maintain a distance of 20–40 cm.
– dusting objects with a damp cloth:
apply a small amount of steam to a cloth and wipe
over the furniture.
5.2 Spot nozzle (E1)
The closer you hold the nozzle to the object
being cleaned, the easier it is to remove the dirt.
Temperature and pressure are at their greatest
immediately the steam is discharged from the
nozzle.
Typical applications:
– locations that are difficult to access, such as cor-
ners and joints
– taps, drains
wash-basins, WC, shower cabins
– blinds, radiators
– stainless steel, enamel surfaces
– dissolve stains
Apply vinegar to stubborn stains caused by scale
and leave it to soak for approx. 5 min.
5.3 Floor nozzle (G1)
• Attach the floor cloth (G3) to the floor nozzle
(G1). Fold the cloth lengthways and place the
floor nozzle on top. Pull the ends of the cloth
one after the other under the retaining clips
(G2).
• To remove the cloth, press down on the retai-
ning clips and pull it out.
• Turn the floor cloth over or replace it regular-
ly. This will enable you to wipe up more dirt.
• Work on heavily soiled areas at a slower
speed so that the steam has more time to act
on the dirt.
