8. Working with the steam cleaner
General
ATTENTION! Change accessories only when the steam cleaner is switched
off and all individual parts have cooled down!
•
Press the trigger (Fig. 9, D) to let out steam.
•
Activate the red lock (E) while the trigger is held depressed
in order to enable a permanent stream of steam.
•
Release the lock (E) whenever you take a break in your work
and switch off the device.
i
While you are working the steam display (orange) can light up again. In this
event release the trigger so that the steam pressure can build again (this should
not take longer than 40 seconds).
If the trigger is pressed while the steam
display (orange) is lit, hot water might exit from the steam cleaner.
i
If the work is interrupted for a longer period, a small amount of water can
collect in the steam tube because the device has cooled down. After switching
it back on again, a small jet of water (might be hot) will come out of the end
of the hose when the trigger is pressed. Allow this water to escape when you
start your work (e.g. into a bucket).
Floors/upholstery
i
You should test a small insignificant spot of any carpets or textiles you want
to clean. A number of materials and fabrics are NOT suitable to be cleaned by
steam for example: leather, furniture or floors that have been treated with wax,
artificial textiles, velvet or other steam-sensitive materials.
•
Before cleaning, first remove the dust from the
surfaces you want to clean.
•
Depending on the floor surface, use the floor brushes
(Fig. 10, 8) with or without the floor cloth (4).
•
Use the brushes (Fig. 10, 8 and 11a) to clean
upholstery.
