Connection to Mains Supply
Plug the steam cleaner mains plug into a properly
installed socket (Fig.4/3) and switch the steam cleaner on
by pressing the on/off switch (Fig.4/4).
The green operating pilot lamp and the orange heating
pilot lamp (Fig.4/4) light up. The operating pilot lamp
lights up as soon as the steam cleaner has been plugged
in and switched on. The heating pilot lamp indicates that
the steam cleaner is currently heating up. The operating
temperature is reached after approx. 11 minutes and the
orange heating pilot lamp goes out. The appliance is now
ready for use.
Using the Steam Cleaner
IMPORTANT
: Never aim the steam outlet of the
steam gun at people, animals, plants or electrical
systems (e.g. oven or socket). There is a risk of
scalding or electric shock.
IMPORTANT
: Before use please check all
connections are fitted securely together.
NOTE
: Residual steam continues to escape for a few
seconds after switching off the steam function.
Release the locking device (child-proof device) by pushing
the triangular pin on the right-hand side of the steam
gun in towards the left (Fig.4/5).
Hot steam now escapes if the steam button is operated.
First of all hold the steam gun over an old cloth to absorb
any initial spray water. Operate the steam button until
the steam is emitted evenly. Cleaning can now begin.
NOTE
: Always test the steam cleaner first on
inconspicuous or invisible areas of the surfaces or fabrics
to be cleaned to check their tolerance to hot steam.
• Steam may result in bleaching of painted/ varnished
wood.
• Steam may discolour shiny plastics.
• Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the hot
steam.
• Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without
first having carried out a suitability test on a concealed
area.
For understandable reasons, the manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage to objects, materials, people,
animals or plants that occurs due to unsuitable use of hot
steam or due to improper use of the appliance.
NOTE
: The steam cleaner is fitted with an overheating
cut-out. The steam cleaner switches off automatically on
reaching a temperature of 180°C to prevent overheating.
Disconnect from the mains immediately by removing the
plug. The steam cleaner may be operated again after a
30-minute cooling period.
Do not aim the steam outlet at one point for too long.
Loosen the dirt by moving the steam jet backwards and
forwards. The flow rate of the steam emitted can be
regulated by turning the steam controller and can be
adjusted to the level required. Turn the steam controller
clockwise for less steam and anti-clockwise for more
steam (Fig.4/6).
