Before Initial Use
Attaching the steam broom
Remove the device from the packaging.
Attach the motor body
2
to the steam base
9
(Fig. A).
Tighten both parts together using the retaining
screw
21
and a Phillips screwdriver (Fig. B).
ATTENTION!
Check the seating of the retain-
ing screw
21
regularly. Otherwise the steam
base
9
may detach itself from the device.
Press the handle release button
1
. Lift up the
handle
15
until it clicks into place on the motor
body
2
(refer to Fig. C and Fig. D).
Preparing the steam broom
Unroll the mains cable
4
completely. You can
lower the pivotable cable winder
14
to make
this easier.
Pull the release lever of the water tank
12
upward in the direction shown by the arrow
(Fig. E) and remove the water tank
11
.
Turn the water tank
11
over and remove the
seal (Fig. F).
Fill the water tank
11
to the lower edge of the
thread with cold tap water (Fig. G). Screw the
seal back on without using too much force.
ATTENTION!
In cases of particularly hard
water (with a water hardness of more than
2 mmol / l), use a mixture of 50 % tap water
and 50 % distilled water.
Re-insert the water tank
11
into the device and
ensure that the water tank valve is correctly
seated on the filter inlet (Fig H). Then click the
water tank
11
into the appropriate position
and check for the correct seating.
Start-up
Note:
You can only use the turbo broom
18
, the
steam function or both functions at the same time.
However, we recommend that you use the two
functions after one another and first use the turbo
broom
18
to remove dust from the floor. Only
activate the steam function thereafter.
Note:
There is a groove below the handle into
which you can clamp the mains cable so that it
does not hang in the way during operation.
Switching the turbo
brush on/off
Press the ON/OFF switch
5
to switch on the
turbo brush
18
(Fig. I). The turbo brush
18
be-
gins to rotate and removes dirt and dust from
the floor, and collects it in the dust collector
6
.
ATTENTION!
Do not clean the turbo brush
18
during this process. The steam base
9
could
tip over or the dust collector
6
could fall
down. Risk of injury!
Press the ON/OFF button
5
again to switch
off the turbo brush
18
.
Using the steam function
Only use the device in well-ventilated rooms.
Remove the plug from the socket.
Use the blue pad
8b
for soft floors and the
white pad
8a
for hard floors. Place the pad
8
under the steam base
9
onto the relevant felt
attachment
19
(Fig. J).
ATTENTION!
Ensure that the water tank is full
to prevent operation without water - otherwise
the pump could burn through.
ATTENTION!
Similarly check before use that
all objects and surfaces to be cleaned are heat
resistant and/or compatible. We recommend
that you follow the care instructions of the man-
ufacturer, particularly for treated terracotta and
wooden floors. Conduct a test on an area which
is not easily visible or on a sample piece.
ATTENTION!
There is a risk that a white
edge may develop on the floor if the device is
allowed to rest in the same spot for an ex-
tended duration during operation. This edge is
not indicative of damage! You can remove it
