Operation
4.1 Steam cleaning
1.
Before starting the appliance, check that the water tank is full and the
attached microfibre cleaning-cloth is clean.
2.
Insert the plug into the plug socket. The green operating indicator light
(fig. 1/10) lights up. The appliance is now heating up.
3.
Wait approx. 30 seconds until the appliance has built up steam.
4.
Now moisten the cleaning cloth by repeatedly (approx. 3 to 5 times)
pumping with the handle (Fig. 6).
5.
To steam-clean, move the appliance back and forth slowly like a
vacuum cleaner. The pushing-pulling motion will produce the steam
required for cleaning.
6.
Turn the appliance by 180° (Fig. 7) as soon as one side of the cleaning
cloth is soiled.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use. A
damaged appliance must never be used.
ATTENTION:
Before starting cleaning, check whether the particular floor surface is
suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the cleaning
recommendations of the flooring manufacturers. Otherwise, the floor
might be damaged. Glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock.
ATTENTION:
Operate the appliance only with the water tank filled and a clean
microfibre cloth attached.. Otherwise the appliance and the flooring
might suffer damage. When using the appliance, check the water level in
the tank's viewing-window (Fig. 1/1) occasionally.
NOTE:
The steam cleaner has an overheating protection device. It will switch off
automatically if overheated (e. g. due to an empty water tank). If this
happens, pull the mains plug and refill the water tank
Z
chapter 3.3,
„Filling the water tank“
. Wait for about 45 minutes. Once the steam
cleaner has cooled down you can switch it on again.
NOTE:
Your steam cleaner is not suitable for deep cleaning carpets or for
removing stubborn stains. To remove stubborn stains, we recommend
working on the stain beforehand with a chemical cleaner, provided the
particular flooring permits this.
NOTE:
It is recommended to first sweep or vacuum-clean floors before using
the steam cleaner on them.

WARNING:
Risk of scalding! Always point the steam jet downwards towards the
surface to be cleaned. Never lay the appliance on its side during
operation. Using the appliance in a horizontal position or even over your
head is forbidden.
WARNING:
Danger of falling! Always be especially careful when cleaning smooth
floors as well as steps and stairs! Only work with moderate steam
pressure when cleaning smooth floors, otherwise a moisture film will be
left on the floor. Using less steam also ensures quicker drying and
reduces the risk of slipping.
ATTENTION:
Before connecting the plug to the power supply, make sure that the
voltage stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket.
Only use plug sockets with a grounding contact.
NOTE:
During first operation it may be necessary to pump 10 to 12 times with
the handle during the preheating cycle (Fig. 6before you can hear and
see steam being delivered..
ATTENTION:
Do not leave the appliance standing still when in operation. Keep it
moving continuously Otherwise there is increased danger of damaging
the floor.
NOTE:
You can increase the ejected amount of steam and the wetness of the
cleaning cloth as needed by repeated pumping with the handle.
