Before you use the steam cleaner for the 
cleaning of textiles, you should always test 
the resistance of the fabrics against steam 
by means of cleaning a hidden spot. Apply 
steam to the hidden spot, and then let it dry. 
Check whether the colour and shape of the 
area have changed.

WARNING

Never direct the steam jet at glued edges 
as the edge band may loosen. Do not use 
the steam cleaner on wooden or parquetry 
floors that have not been sealed.

Be careful when you clean kitchen and liv-
ing room furniture, doors, parquetry, lac-
quered or plastic-coated surfaces! Upon a 
longer influence of steam, wax, furniture 
polish, plastic coatings, or paint may come 
off, or stains may occur. Therefore, you 
should only clean such surfaces using a 
piece of cloth to which steam has been ap-
plied or very briefly using a double layer of 
cloth on the nozzle.

WARNING

Never direct the steam jet directly at the sealed 
parts of the window around the window frame 
to prevent damages of the sealing.

In case of low outside temperatures, espe-
cially in the winter, warm up the window 
pane. Apply a small quantity of steam to the 
entire glass surface. Thus, you compen-
sate temperature differences and avoid 
stresses in the glass surface. This is of im-
portance because glass surfaces that are 
heated unevenly may crack.

You can use the steam gun without any ad-
ditional accessories.

Application:

– elimination of odours and creases from 

garments: Apply steam to the hanging 
garment from a distance of 10–20 cm.

– Removing dust from plants: Respect a 

distance of 20-40 cm.

– dusting with a damp cloth: Apply a small 

amount of steam to a cloth, and then 
use this cloth to wipe over the furniture.

The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty 
spot, the higher the cleaning effect as tem-
perature and pressure of the steam reach 
their maximum values immediately when 
they are emitted from the nozzle.

Application:

– Fittings, drains
– Wash-basins, toilets
– Blinds, radiators
– Stain removal: Moisten stubborn lime-

stone with vinegar, and allow to react 
for approximately 5 minutes.

Note

The round brush is not suited for the 

cleaning of delicate surfaces.

The extension piece is attached to the de-
tail nozzle.

Application:

– locations that are difficult to access, 

such as corners and joints

– Fittings, drains
