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. 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 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 or very briefly using a double layer of
cloth on the nozzle.
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 gun (B1)
You can use the steam gun without any additio-
nal 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 distance 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 (C1)
The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty spot,
the higher the cleaning effect as temperature
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
– stainless steel, enamelled surfaces
– Removing stains:
Moisten stubborn limestone with vinegar, and
allow to react for approximately 5 minutes.

detail nozzle.
The round brush is not suited for the cleaning of
delicate surfaces.
Application:
– locations that are difficult to access, such as
corners and joints
– fittings, drains
