• Switch off the heater (B2) before moving the

cleaner.

• When you are ready to start work with the cleaner,

you must first release the locking mechanism (child

lock (C4)) on the steam gun (C1), otherwise you will

not be able to operate the steam switch (C3). Slide

the locking mechanism (C4) forwards and you will

then be able to press the steam switch (C3).

Note

Slide the locking mechanism (C3) towards the

rear to engage the child lock whenever you are not

using the steam gun.

• When you press the steam switch, steam is

discharged from the nozzle. Begin by pointing the

steam gun at a cloth until a steady flow of steam

comes out of the nozzle.

• The heater is repeatedly switched on while you

are using the cleaner, in order to maintain the

pressure inside the boiler. At the same time the

orange indicator lamp (B5) illuminates.

2.5 Regulating the volume of steam

• The amount of steam can be regulated according

to requirement by adjusting the handwheel (C7) on

the steam gun. When the wheel is turned forwards,

a large amount of steam is discharged; when it is

turned towards the rear, a small amount of steam is

discharged.

Note

:

 When the handwheel is set for minimum

steam, it is possible that steam will continue to be

discharged briefly after the steam switch (C3) has

been released, until the pressure in the steam hose

has dropped. You can accelerate this process by

briefly turning the handwheel (C7) forwards.

2.6 Refilling with water

Note

:

 When the water in the boiler has been used

up, the red low-water warning lamp (B7) will

illuminate. The safety cap (A2) cannot be opened

while there is any pressure at all in the boiler.
• Turn off the heater switch (B2) but leave the steam

supply switch (B3) on.

• Press the steam switch (C3) on the steam gun

(C1) and hold it pressed until steam is no longer

discharged from the nozzle. There will then be no

pressure inside the boiler.

• Unscrew the safety cap (A2) from the cleaner.

If the cleaner has been in continuous use for a

long time, the safety cap may be hot!

Caution

: Never lift the cleaner by the handle

unless the safety cap is in place!

• Pour a maximum of 1.6 litres of tap water into the

boiler.

If the boiler is still hot, there is a risk that water

will be squirted back while it is being poured into

the boiler and cause scalding.

• Firmly screw the safety cap (A2) back onto the

cleaner. Turn on the heater switch (B2) again.

When the heater indicator lamp (B5) goes out, the

cleaner is ready for use again.

2.7 Switching the cleaner OFF

• Switch off both the heater (B2) and steam supply

(B3) switches.

• Unplug the cleaner from the mains.

• Lift up the cover on the main unit socket (A1) and

pull out the modular accessory plug (C6).

• Any remaining water can be left inside the

cleaner.

3. Information on usage

3.1 Cleaning textiles

Before you use the steam cleaner on textiles

including delicate fabrics like Dralon, velvet, leather

and items protected by Scotch Guard or any similar

substance, you should always test that the material

is resistant to steam by applying it to a section not

normally visible.

Apply steam to the concealed section and then

leave it to dry. Check to see that the colour and

shape have not been affected before moving to a

visible area. In case of doubt it is always better to

consult your steam cleaner dealer.

Use only the steam gun without attachments to

apply steam from 30 - 45 cm on these delicate

fabrics, then wipe off with a cotton cloth.

3.2 Cleaning hard surfaces

Do not direct steam onto glued edges of

objects, otherwise the edge strip could be

become detached. Do not use the steam

cleaner on wood or parquet floors that have not

been sealed.

Some surfaces can change colour and texture when

treated with steam. Consult the manufacturers

recommendations first, and always test in a non

visible place and then let it dry, to see whether

changes in colour or textures occur. In case of doubt

and on sensitive materials like coated or painted

surfaces, wood, waxed marble etc. it is always

better to ask your steam cleaner dealer for advice.
