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, lac-
quered 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 ap-
plied or very briefly using a double layer of
cloth on the nozzle.
Cleaning of Glass
WARNING
Never direct the steam jet directly at the
sealed parts of the window around the win-
dow frame to prevent damages of the
sealing.
In case of low outside temperatures, espe-
cially in the winter, warm up the window pa-
ne. Apply a small quantity of steam to the
entire glass surface. Thus, you compensa-
te temperature differences and avoid stres-
ses in the glass surface. This is of
importance because glass surfaces that
are heated unevenly 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
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 (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 li-
me- scale with vinegar, and allow to re-
act for approximately 5 minutes.
Extension piece (D2)
The extension piece is attached to the de-
tail 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
