It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the
floor prior to using the steam cleaner. This
way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/
loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner,
always check the reaction of the textiles in
an inconspicuous location: Steam at first,
then let dry and then check for colour or
shape changes.
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated
surfaces, as found on kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furni-
ture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When
cleaning these surfaces, briefly steam a
cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
ATTENTION
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges
as the edge band may loosen. Do not use
the steam cleaner on unsealed wooden or
parquet floors.
In case of low outside temperatures, espe-
cially in the winter, warm up the window
pane by slightly steaming the entire glass
surface. This will prevent tensions on the
surface which might lead to glass break-
age.
Then clean the window surface with the
hand nozzle and attachment. Use a squee-
gee to remove the water or wipe the surfac-
es dry.
ATTENTION
Do not direct steam onto the sealed loca-
tions of the window frame to prevent dam-
age.
You can use the steam gun without any ad-
ditional accessories, e.g.:
–
to remove light wrinkles from hanging
clothes by steaming them at a distance
of 10 to 20 cm.
–
to remove dust from plants. Here, keep
a distance of 20-40 cm.
–
for moist dusting, by briefly steaming
the cloth and wiping the furniture with it.
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminat-
ed area, the higher the cleaning effect, as
the temperature and the steam are highest
at the nozzle output. Especially suited for
cleaning difficult access locations, joints,
fittings, drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and
heaters. Heavy lime scale can be drenched
in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. Let the
vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.

Especially well-suited for small washable
areas, shower stalls and mirrors.
Suited for all washable walls and floor cov-
erings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC
floors. Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to
allow the steam to act on the dirt for a long-
er period of time.
