General Hints

Before first Use
Remove all packaging from the steam cleaner and check all parts for damage in
transit and if all accessories have been included. Do not use defective parts.
Keep packaging out of reach of small children. There is risk of suffocation!
Clean all parts of the appliance before using the first time as described below
under "Cleaning".
According to functional tests, residual humidity can remain in the water tank.
Residual humidity in a factory-new article is not a fault.
Hints
As the steam cleaner only uses active power of steam, it is environment-friendly.
You do not need any detergent or aggressive chemicals.
The steam cleaner deposits very less calcification in the tank and does not
require distilled water. If the tap water in your area is very limy (over 3.75 mmol/l),
we recommend using tap water and distilled water in equal shares or to descale
the steam cleaner frequently.
The steam cleaner is designed to thoroughly clean floor surfaces such as marble,
granite, ceramic, stone and linoleum. With the help of various accessories you
can easily clean stubborn dirt without using chemicals.
Do not clean sensitive surfaces such as unsealed wood floors or laminate with
this steam cleaner. Avoid cleaning oiled or waxed surfaces. The wax may be
damaged or removed by the hot steam. Check with your floor manufacturer to
ensure suitability to steam cleaning.
The steam cleaner is equipped with overheating protection. If there is too less
water in the tank, the overheating protection will be activated. If temperature
increases up to 180°C the steam cleaner switches off automatically. In this case
switch off and unplug from power mains and allow the steam cleaner to cool down
for approx. 30 minutes.
