from the appliance connector (A1). To do so,
lift the cover of the appliance connector.

detail nozzle, and small parts in the accessory
compartment (see Figure 9).

Figure 9: Accessory compartment

• Put the two extension tubes one after the other

into the accessory case (A5) located on the
rear of the appliance. Put the floor nozzle (H1)
on an extension tube (see Figure 10).

Figure 10: Clearing up

• Always allow the brushes to cool down for a

sufficient period of time to avoid a deformation
of the bristles.

4. Notes on the operation

Cleaning of Textiles

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.

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

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 living
room furniture, doors, parquetry, lacquered 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
applied or very briefly using a double layer of
cloth on the nozzle.

Cleaning of Glass

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, especially
in the winter, warm up the window pane. Apply
a small quantity of steam to the entire glass
surface. Thus, you compensate temperature
differences and avoid stresses in the glass
surface. This is of importance because glass
surfaces  that are heated unevenly may crack.
