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 app-
lying 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 bet-
ter to consult your steam cleaner dealer.
Use only the steam gun without attachments to
apply steam from 15 - 20 inches on these deli-
cate 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 manufac-
turers 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 marb-
le etc. it is always better to ask your steam cle-
aner dealer for advice.
If steam is applied for too long, wax, furniture
polish, plastic coating or paint could be lifted off
or marks could be caused. You should therefore
clean these types of surface with a separate
cloth to which steam has been applied or very
briefly with a double layer of cloth attached to
the nozzle.
3.3 Cleaning glass surfaces
Do not apply steam jet directly to the sea-
led parts of the window round the frame,
otherwise the seal could be damaged.
When the outside temperature is low, especially
in winter, warm the window pane by applying a
small amount of steam across the whole sur-
face of the glass. This will even out any diffe-
rences in temperature and avoid stresses in the
glass. This is important because glass surfaces
that are heated by varying amounts can shatter.
4. How to use the accessories
4.1 Steam gun (C1)
The steam gun can be used without any additio-
nal accessories.
Typical applications:
– eliminating odours and creases in clothing:
hang the item of clothing up and apply steam
from a distance of 5 - 10 inches.
– removing dust from plants:
maintain a distance of 10 - 20 inches.
– dusting objects with a damp cloth:
apply a small amount of steam to a cloth and
wipe over the furniture.
4.2 Spot nozzle (E1)
The closer you hold the nozzle
to the object being cleaned, the
easier it is to remove the dirt.
Temperature and pressure are
at their greatest immediately
the steam is discharged from
the nozzle.
Typical applications:
– locations that are difficult to access, such as
corners and joints
– taps, drains
wash-basins, WC, shower cabins
– blinds, radiators
– stainless steel, enamel surfaces
– dissolve stains
Apply vinegar to stubborn stains caused by
scale and leave it to soak for approx. 5 min.
4.3 Floor nozzle (G1)
• Attach the floor cloth (G3) to the floor nozzle
(G1). Fold the cloth lengthways and place the
floor nozzle on top. Pull the ends of the cloth
one after the other under the retaining clips
(G2) (see Fig. 3).
