Power nozzle
The power nozzle is used for cleaning stubborn dirt,
blowing down corners, joins etc.
1. Install the power nozzle onto the spotlight nozzle ac-
cording to the round brush.

Manual nozzle
The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that
can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.
1. Push the manual nozzle onto the steam nozzle or
the steam gun according to the spotlight nozzle.
Illustration J
2. Pull the cover over the manual nozzle.
Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and
floor coverings e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
ATTENTION
Damage due to build-up of steam
Heat and moisture can lead to damage.
Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an in-
conspicuous area using a minimal volume of steam pri-
or to use.
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can lead to streaks, which will disappear
however once these have been used several times.
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heav-
ily soiled so that the steam can impact longer.
1. Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.

2. Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube.

3. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.
a Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and
loop fastener strips pointing upwards on the floor.
b Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning
cloth, applying slight pressure.
Illustration P
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle
of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.
Removing the floor cleaning cloth
1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor
cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.
Illustration P
Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fas-
tener strip is very strong and cannot be removed
from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning
cloth has been used several times and washed, it is
easier to remove from the floor nozzle and it has
reached the optimum adhesion.
