How to Use the Accessories
Important Application Instructions
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
WARNING
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as
the edge band may loosen. Do not use the
steam cleaner on wooden or parquetry
floors that have not been sealed.
Be careful when you clean kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquetry, lacquered
or plastic-coated surfaces! Upon a longer in-
fluence of steam, wax, furniture polish, pla-
stic 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 or
very briefly using a double layer of cloth on
the nozzle.
Cleaning of Glass
WARNING
Never direct the steam jet directly at the sea-
led parts of the window around the window
frame to prevent damages of the sealing.
In case of low outside temperatures, especi-
ally in the winter, warm up the window pane.
Apply a small quantity of steam to the entire
glass surface. Thus, you compensate tem-
perature differences and avoid stresses in
the glass surface. This is of importance be-
cause glass surfaces that are heated un-
evenly may crack.
Steam gun (C1)
You can use the steam gun without any ad-
ditional accessories.
Application:
– elimination of odours and creases from
garments: Apply steam to the hanging
garment from a distance of 10–20cm.
– removing dust from plants: Respect a di-
stance of 20-40 cm.
– dusting with a damp cloth: Apply a small
amount of steam to a cloth, and then use
this cloth to wipe over the furniture.
Detail nozzle (D1)
The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty
spot, the higher the cleaning effect as tem-
perature and pressure of the steam reach
their maximum values immediately when
they are emitted from the nozzle.
Application:
– fittings, drains
– wash-basins, toilets
– blinds, radiators
– Removing stains: Moisten stubborn lime-
scale with vinegar, and allow to react for
approximately 5 minutes.
Extension piece (D2)
The extension piece is attached to the detail
nozzle.
Application:
– inaccessible gaps, joints, etc.
Round brush (D3)
Note: The round brush is not suited for the
cleaning of delicate surfaces.
The round brush is attached directly or using
the extension piece (D2) on the detail
nozzle.
Application:
– locations that are difficult to access, such
as corners and joints
– fittings, drains
