Important application instructions
Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning it before using the
appliance. In this way the floor will be cleared of dirt and loose particles
before the wet cleaning.
Freshening up textiles
Prior to using the appliance, always check the compatibility of the textiles
at a concealed point: Steam down the textile, allow it to dry and then check
it for any change in colour or shape.
Cleaning coated or painted surfaces
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings or
paint and edge band from edges.
Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as the edge band may loosen.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning unsealed wood or parquet floors.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning painted or plastic coated surfaces such
as kitchen or living room furniture, doors or parquet.
- To clean these surfaces, steam a cloth briefly and use it to wipe over the surfaces.
Glass cleaner
ATTENTION
Glass breakages and damaged surfaces Steam can damage sealed points of the
window frame and, at low outside temperatures, lead to tension on the surface
of window panes and hence to glass breakages. Do not direct the steam at
sealed points on the window frame.
At low outside temperatures, heat up the window panes by gently steaming the
full surface of the glass.
- Clean the window area with a manual nozzle and cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or wipe the surfaces dry.
How to use the Accessories
Steam gun
The steam gun can be used for the following applications without accessories:
- For removing slight creases from the hanging clothing items: Steam the clothing item from a distance of 10-20 cm.
- For wiping damp dust: Steam a cloth briefly and use it to wipe over the furniture.
Spotlight nozzle
The spotlight nozzle is suitable for cleaning areas, joins, fittings, drains,
sinks, WCs, blinds or radiators that are difficult to access. The closer the
spotlight nozzle is to the soiled area, the greater the cleaning efficiency
will be as the temperature and steam volume are at their highest at the nozzle
opening. Larger lime deposits can be treated before steam cleaning with a
suitable detergent. Allow the detergent to soak in for approx. 5 minutes and
then steam it off.
- Slide the spotlight nozzle onto the steam gun.
Illustration F
Round brush (small)
The small round brush is used for cleaning stubborn dirt. Stubborn dirt can be
removed more easily by brushing.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
The brush may scratch sensitive surfaces. It is not suitable for cleaning
sensitive surfaces.
- Fit the round brush to the spotlight nozzle.
Illustration G
Round brush (large)
The large round brush is suitable for cleaning large rounded surfaces, e.g.
wash basin, shower tray, bath tub, kitchen sink, etc.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces The brush may scratch sensitive surfaces. It is not suitable
for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
- Fit the large round brush to the spotlight nozzle.
Illustration G
Power nozzle
The power nozzle is used for cleaning stubborn dirt and for blowing down
corners, on joints, etc.
- Install the power nozzle onto the spotlight nozzle according to the round brush.
Illustration G
Crevice brush
- The crevice brush is used for cleaning narrow gaps e.g. window recess and cranks in the walls.
Illustration G
Manual nozzle
The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that can be washed down,
shower cubicles and mirrors.
-
Push the manual nozzle onto the steam gun according to the spotlight nozzle.
Illustration F -
Pull the cover over the manual nozzle.
Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and floor coverings e.g.
stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
ATTENTION
Damage due to build-up of steam
Heat and moisture can lead to damage.
Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an inconspicuous area using a
minimal volume of steam prior to use.
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to be cleaned can lead to
streaks during steam cleaning, which will disappear however once these have
been used several times.
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning it before using the device.
In this way the floor will be cleared of dirt and loose particles before the
wet cleaning commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heavily soiled so
that the steam has longer to take effect.
-
Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.
Illustration H -
Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube.
Illustration I -
Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.
a. Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and loop fastener strips pointing upwards on the floor.

Illustration J
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.
Removing the floor cleaning cloth
- Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.
Illustration J
Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth’s hook and loop fastener strip is very
strong and cannot be removed from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor
cleaning cloth has been used several times and washed, it is easier to remove
from the floor nozzle and it has reached the optimum adhesion.
Parking the floor nozzle
- Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during breaks in work.
Illustration N
Carpet glider
The carpet glider is used for freshening up carpets.
ATTENTION
Beware of damaging the carpet glider and carpet
Contamination on the carpet glider, as well as heat and moisture penetration,
can result in the carpet being damaged. Prior to the application, also check
the heat resistance and impact of steam on the carpet at an insignificant spot
using as small an amount of steam as possible. Observe the cleaning
instructions from the carpet manufacturer. Prior to using the carpet glider,
make sure that the carpet has been vacuumed and that stains have been removed.
Prior to application and following operating pauses, remove any possible water
accumulation (condensate) in the appliance by means of evaporating the
condensate into a drain (without floor cleaning cloth / with accessories).
Only use the carpet glider with a floor cleaning cloth on the floor nozzle.
Steam clean with a weak steam stage when using the carpet glider. In order to
prevent too much moistening and to avoid the risk of damage due to temperature
effects, do not direct the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum 5
seconds). Do not use the carpet glider on deep-pile carpets.
