The heating of the steam cleaner is turned on in
regular intervals during the operation of the appli-
ance in order to maintain the pressure in the boiler
at a constant level. When the heating is turned on,
the orange indicator lamp (heater) lights up.
Water needs to be filled into the boiler, if the steam vol-
ume decreases during work and no more steam is emit-
ted in the end.
 Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
 Push the steam switch until steam discharge stops.
Now, the boiler of the appliance is unpressurized.
 Remove the safety lock from the device.
 Fill the boiler with a maximum of 1 liters of fresh tap
water.
 Screw the safety cap back onto the device.
 Insert the mains plug into a socket.
 The orange indicator lamp goes out after approxi-
mately 8 minutes.
The steam cleaner is ready to use.

 Put the extension pipes into the large accessory
compartments.
 Insert the manual nozzle and detail nozzle onto
each extension pipe.

dium accessory compartment.
 Hook the floor nozzle into the parking position.
 Wrap the steam hose around the extension pipes
and insert the steam pistol into the floor nozzle.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to a stuck safety lock
If the safety lock is not removed after cleaning, there is
a possibility that the lock could get stuck in the thread.
After cleaning, unscrew the safety lock and store it, for
example, with the other device accessories.
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, par-
quet; wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When cleaning
these surfaces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the sur-
faces with it.
ATTENTION
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge
band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on un-
sealed wooden or parquet floors.
In case of low outside temperatures, especially 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 breakage.
Then clean the window surface with the hand nozzle
and attachment. Use a squeegee to remove the water
or wipe the surfaces dry.
ATTENTION
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of the win-
dow frame to prevent damage.
You can use the steam gun without any additional ac-
cessories, 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.
Illustration
 Install detail nozzle on the steam gun.
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the
higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the
steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suit-
ed for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings,
drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy lime
scale can be drenched in vinegar prior to steam-clean-
ing. Let the vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.
The round brush can be installed onto the detail nozzle
as an accessory. Attached brushes can therefore be
used to remove heavy soiling.
ATTENTION
Not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
Illustration
 Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
Illustration
 Install hand nozzle on steam gun.
Pull the cloth cover over the hand nozzle. Especially
well-suited for small washable areas, shower stalls and
mirrors.
Suited for all washable walls and floor coverings, 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
longer period of time.
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions that are still pre-
sent on the surface to be cleaned can lead to streaks
during steam cleaning. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.
