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.
