Notes on the operation
Cleaning of Textiles
Before you use the steam cleaner for the cleaning
of textiles, you should always test the resistance
of the fabrics against steam by means of cleaning
a hidden spot. Apply steam to the hidden spot,
and then let it dry. Check whether the colour and
shape of the area have changed.
Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as
the edge band may loosen.
Be careful when you clean kitchen and living room
furniture, doors, parquetry, lacquered or plastic-
coated surfaces! Upon a longer influence of
steam, wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings, or
paint may come off, or stains may occur.
Therefore, you should only clean such surfaces
using a piece of cloth to which steam has been
applied.
Cleaning of Glass
Never direct the steam jet directly at the
sealed parts of the window around the
window frame to prevent damages of the
sealing.
In case of low outside temperatures, especially in
the winter, warm up the window pane. Apply a
small quantity of steam to the entire glass surface.
Thus, you compensate temperature differences
and avoid stresses in the glass surface. This is of
importance because glass surfaces that are
heated unevenly may crack.
Steam nozzle (A2)
You can use the steam jet directly from the steam
nozzle without any further accessories.
The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty spot,
the higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature
and pressure of the steam reach their maximum
values immediately when they are emitted from
the nozzle.
Fields of application:
– fittings, drains
– wash-basins, toilets
– blinds, radiators
– windows, mirrors
– furniture fabrics
Detail nozzle (C1)
Fields of application:
- joints, edges

The round brush is not suited for the cleaning
of delicate surfaces.

Tips and Tricks
Removing stains:
Moisten stubborn limestone with vinegar, and
allow to react for approximately 5 minutes.
Dusting with a damp cloth:
Apply a small amount of steam to a cloth, and
then use this cloth to wipe over the furniture.
Cleaning of Glass
• Apply steam to the glass surface from a
distance of approximately 20 cm until the
surface is moistened evenly.
• Strip the glass surface in straight lines from the
top to the bottom using the rubber lip of the
window tool.
• Wipe the rubber lip and the bottom edge of the
window dry after each strip.
Removing dust from plants:
Respect a distance of 20-40 cm.
