Important application instructions
Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum clean-
ing it before using the appliance. In this way the floor
will be cleared of dirt and loose particles before the
wet cleaning.
Freshening up textiles
Prior to using the appliance, always check the com-
patibility of the textiles at a concealed point: Steam
down the textile, allow it to dry and then check it for
any change in colour or shape.
Cleaning coated or painted surfaces
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coat-
ings or paint and edge band from edges.
Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as
the edge band may loosen.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning unsealed wood
or parquet floors.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning painted or plas-
tic coated surfaces such as kitchen or living room fur-
niture, doors or parquet.
1. To clean these surfaces, steam a cloth briefly and
use it to wipe over the surfaces.
Glass cleaner
ATTENTION
Glass breakages and damaged surfaces
Steam can damage sealed points of the window frame
and, at low outside temperatures, lead to tension on
the surface of window panes and hence to glass
breakages.
Do not direct the steam at sealed points on the win-
dow frame.
At low outside temperatures, heat up the window
panes by gently steaming the full surface of the glass.
Clean the window area with a manual nozzle and
cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or
wipe the surfaces dry.
