6. Care & maintenance
Use caution when filling and emptying the steam
cleaner. The descaling solution can have an
aggressive effect on delicate surfaces.
• Pour the descaling solution into the boiler and
allow it to react for approximately 8 hours.
Do not Do not
Do not Do not Do not screw the safety lock on the appliance while
you are descaling the boiler. Never use the steam
cleaner as long as there is descaler left in the boiler.
• Once the descaling is completed, pour the
descaling solution out. A small amount of the
solution will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three times with
cold water to remove any residues of the
descaler.
• Turn the rotary knob (B2) clockwise until the
stop and then counter-clockwise until the
maximum steam quantity.
• Now, the steam cleaner is ready for use again.

Care of the cloths

Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
• Do not place the floor nozzle (H1), the manual
nozzle (E1), and the round brush (D3) onto the
bristles during the cooling and drying process
to avoid a deformation of the bristles.
The floorcloth and the terry cloth cover have
been pre-washed and can be used immediately
for working with the steam cleaner.
• You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry cloth
covers in the washingmachine at 60°C. Do not
use a liquid softener as this would affect the
ability of the cloths to pick up dirt. You can
tumble dry the cloths as needed.
