Do not screw the safety lock on the appliance while
you are descaling the boiler. Never use the steam
cleaner as long as there is descaler left in the boiler.
• Once the descaling is completed, pour the
descaling solution out. A small amount of the
solution will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three times with
cold water to remove any residues of the
descaler.
• Turn the rotary knob (B2) clockwise until the
stop and then counter-clockwise until the
maximum steam quantity.
• Now, the steam cleaner is ready for use again.
Care of the cloths
Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
• Do not place the floor nozzle (H1), the manual
nozzle (E1), and the round brush (D3) onto the
bristles during the cooling and drying process
to avoid a deformation of the bristles.
The floorcloth and the terry cloth cover have
been pre-washed and can be used immediately
for working with the steam cleaner.
• You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry cloth
covers in the washingmachine at 60°C. Do not
use a liquid softener as this would affect the
ability of the cloths to pick up dirt. You can
tumble dry the cloths as needed.
