Upholstery cleaner

Use with rubber lip removed to steam clothes, upholstery and mattresses (to kill dust mites).

Angle nozzle

For disinfecting bathroom and kitchen fittings and hard-to-reach places.

Brushes (nylon)

The nylon brushes can be used in hard-to-reach areas around washbasins and bathroom fittings.

Brushes (brass)

The brass brushes can be used to remove grease and dirt from grills and ovens.

Accessories for the angle adapter

• Insert the angle adapter (8a) into the floor brush (8). The adapter must point downwards.
• Turn the angle adapter (8a) 180°.
• Press the button on the extension (7) and insert it into the angle adapter.
• Insert the second extension and connect it to the steam gun (13).
• If necessary, lay the mop cloth (4) on a flat surface and place the floor brush (8) on it.
• Press a clip on the floor brush and attach the mop cloth. Repeat this with the other clip.

Steam plate (e.g. to remove wallpaper)

• Press down the button on the steam gun (13).
• Attach the steam plate (12) to the gun either with or without extensions (7).

Start-up

The use of distilled water prolongs the life of the steam cleaner. Fill the steam cleaner, but only while it is disconnected from the mains.

• Turn the steam cap (2) in an anti-clockwise direction to remove it.
• Fill the steam cleaner with the help of the funnel (3) with max. 1200 ml water.
• Put the steam cap back on (2) and screw it shut tightly
• Connect it to the mains and switch the steam cleaner on. The operating display (B, red) and the steam display (C, orange) light up.
• As soon as the steam display (orange) switches offff, the steam cleaner is ready to be used (depending on the volume of water, this can take up to 9 minutes).

Working with the steam cleaner

ATTENTION! Change accessories only when the steam cleaner is switched off and all individual parts have cooled down!

• Set the lock (E) to ON to unlock the trigger guard (D).
• Press the trigger (D) to let out steam
• While you are working the steam display (orange) can light up again. In this event release the trigger so that the steam pressure can build again (this should not take longer than 40 seconds). If the trigger is pressed while the steam display (orange) is lit, hot water might exit from the steam cleaner.
• If the work is interrupted for a longer period, a small amount of water can collect in the steam tube because the device has cooled down. After switching it back on again, a small jet of water (might be hot) will come out of the end of the hose when the trigger is pressed. Allow this water to escape when you start your work (e.g. into a bucket

Floors/upholstery

• You should test a small insignificant spot of any carpets or textiles you want to clean. A number of materials and fabrics are NOT suitable to be cleaned by steam for example: leather, furniture or floors that have been treated with wax, artificial textiles, velvet or other steam-sensitive materials. Do not use on unsealed hardwood, laminate floors or unglazed ceramic surfaces.
• Before cleaning, first remove the dust from the surfaces you want to clean.
• Depending on the floor surface, use the floor brushes (8) with or without the floor cloth (4).
• Use the upholstery cleaner (9b) to clean upholstery

Glass and ceramic tiles
Thermal shock can shatter glass. Before cleaning glass surfaces heat them gently by directing the steam jet at the surface but at a distance of at least 15 cm. Do not use on glass if the temperature is below 0˚ C.

• Use the Window/Tile Cleaner (9a) to clean grime from tiles and windows

Special applications for nozzle and brush

• The Angled Nozzle (10) and the Brushes (11) can be used to get into awkward corners that are normally difficult to clean.
• The brushes (11) are suitable for scrubbing and loosening persistent dirt from hard surfaces. The brass brush (11a/11b) may only be used for scratchproof surfaces (not enamel

Removing wallpaper
Caution! Danger of short-circuits! Cover sockets and switches and do not subject them to steam.

• Before you start your work, check the condition of the plaster. Steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster. The same can happen if there are cracks or holes in the plaster or if the  steam plate is held too long in one place after the wallpaper has absorbed the water. You can detect poorly bonded plaster by rapping against it at a few different locations on the wall. A hollow sound means that you have to be extremel  careful here. Stop immediately if you hear cracking sounds or if the plaster starts crumbling away. The device is primarily for dry walls and plasterboard walls. Regardless of the underlying surface, before you start work you should run a few tests in a small corner to see whether any problems arise.
• As for all kinds of renovation work, cover floors and furniture to keep them protected.
• If there are several layers of wallpaper, we recommend perforating the surface with a conventional perforator tool or by lightly slicing crisscross marks on the surface with a scraper at a distance of 15 cm.
• Hold the steam plate (12) flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds.
• Now move the steam plate (12) to the area immediately next to the one just steamed – from which the paper should now easily come away with a little help from a wallpaper scraper

Work in the garden

• Steam can be used to disinfect soil in flower beds or greenhouses. First loosen the soil to attain a porous surface. Hold the steam plate (12) over each section for about 2 to 3 minutes to ensure that the steam has penetrated the surface

Refilling the water tank

• Switch off the steam cleaner at the on/off switch and disconnect from the mains.
• Let the steam cleaner cool down for about 30 minutes and release the pressure by depressing the trigger

Please note that the steam cap (2) may not be removed while the device is still under pressure for safety reasons.

• Wait until there is no more steam coming out and then turn the steam cap (2) in an anticlockwise direction to remove it.
• Fill the steam cleaner with the help of the funnel (3) with max. 1200 ml water.
• Put the steam cap back on (2) and screw it shut tightly.
• Switch the steam cleaner back on.
• As soon as the steam display (orange) goes off, you can continue your work.

Cleaning and maintenance

ATTENTION! Carry out cleaning and maintenance only when the steam cleaner is switched off and all individual parts have cooled down!

• To ensure that the steam cleaner functions properly over a longer period, rinse the water tank once a month to remove any lime scale. When you do this, we recommend using a vinegar solution or a normal descaler. Depending on how hard the water is, you might need to descale more often. Using distilled water is recommended.
• Clean the steam cleaner and accessories with a slightly damp cloth.
• Never use a cleaning product or detergent.
• Empty the steam cleaner completely. Never store the steam cleaner with liquid in the tank.
• If the steam cleaner calcifies, pour a vinegar solution or a normal descaler into the water tank and leave it take effect for about 2-3 hours. Please observe also the instructions for using the descaler provided by the manufacturer.
• The steam cleaner does not consists of any components that should be repaired by the customer. All repairs must be carried out by Wagner Customer Services.
