Important application instructions
Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing.

The device is suitable for cleaning washable floor cov-
erings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors, as well as
sealed wooden floors such as parquet and laminate.
ATTENTION
Damage due to steam effect
Heat and the effects of steam can lead to dam-
age.Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an
inconspicuous area using a minimal volume of steam
prior to use.
Do not remain the steam in the same position on the
sealed wooden floors for too long.
Note
Detergent residues or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can cause streaks during steam cleaning,
but these disappear after repeated use.
CAUTION
Beware of burns to your feet
The floor head/floor cleaning cloth heats up during
steaming.
Hot water may drip out when pulling off the floor cloth.
Only operate or remove the floor head/floor cleaning
cloth with suitable footwear.
For fastening the floor cleaning cloth to the floor head,
please refer to chapter How to use the Accessories
How to use the Accessories

Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fastener
strip is very strong and cannot be removed from the

used several times and washed, it is easier to remove
from the floor head and it has reached the optimum ad-
hesion.
