accessories / dirt container & filter
Power indicator light / On/off switch
When the water tank has been filled, insert the plug into
the socket. Switch the cleaner on by pressing the on/off
switch to on. The power indicator light (red) should then
come on, indicating that the cleaner is being supplied
with power.
Ready display
The steam ready light (yellow) will come on, indicating
that the steam cleaner is ready to use. The operating
temperature will be reached after about 11 minutes
(steam ready light (yellow) goes out). The steamer is now
ready for use.
WARNING:
In order to avoid injury, the steam
should be switched off during breaks or pauses
during work by pressing the on/off switch to off.
If you leave the working area, please switch the cleaner
off and remove the plug from the socket (by pulling on
the plug, and not on the power supply cable).
Steam gun
The cleaner is ready for use when the yellow steam ready
light goes out. Ensure that the child safety lock on the
steam gun is off. When the steam switch is pressed,
steam will be emitted from the nozzle. Direct the steam
gun at a cloth first, until the steam is emitted evenly.
Keep the steam switch depressed, and direct the steam
jet at the surface to be cleaned, removing the dirt by
moving the steam jet to and fro over the surface. The
steam jet will stop as soon as the steam switch is
released.
NOTE:
When the lock is pushed to the forward position,
the steam switch cannot be pressed. Push the lock to the
rear position to release the steam switch.
NOTE:
In order to ensure safe use, even in the case of
accidental contact with liquids, the steam gun is insulated
from the electrical power supply (zero volt system).
WARNING:
When cleaning surfaces with the
steam gun, wipe the surface dry afterward using a
micro-fibre or cotton cloth if necessary; this will also
remove any excess moisture for thorough cleaning. In
order to control the steam temperature and cleaning
power at the surface, move the steam gun closer to or
further away from the surface.
After use
WARNING:
Before opening the tank cover to
empty the tank, release the steam pressure by
pressing the steam switch on the steam gun, or allow the
cleaner to cool down completely.
Switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the
socket. Wait until the cleaner has cooled down
completely. Empty the water tank. Allow the inside of the
water tank to dry out before replacing the cover. Store
the steamer in a dry area safely out of the reach of
children.
Rinsing out the water tank
To clean the water tank, we recommend that you fill it
with water and shake vigourously. This will release any
limescale desposits that have collected on the bottom of
the tank. Pour the water out while holding the cleaner
upside down to rinse out any limescale deposits. In hard
water areas it is recommended to use distilled/bottled
water to avoid limescale deposits.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance work on the cleaner must only
be carried out when the plug has been removed from the
socket.
Allow the cleaner to cool down completely before putting
it away or carrying out any cleaning.
Clean the steam cleaner and accessories only with a
slightly damp cloth.
NOTE: In order to prolong the working life of the cleaner,
you should descale the steam tank about every 6
months. Switch the cleaner off, remove the plug from the
socket and empty the remaining water as described
above.
Fill the tank with 1L of warm water at about 50˚C and
add 1 or 2 descaling tablets to the tank. Leave the
tablets to work for about 30 minutes, and then empty
the tank of the water and limescale deposits. This
procedure can be repeated if required.
