Use

• Never aim steam directly at people, animals or plants. This can cause severe scalding.
• Only ever hold the device by the handle and not by the attachment while operating the device as it can become very hot. There is a danger of scalding!
• Always work with sufficient lighting.
• Make sure that you do not trip over the mains cable while using the device.
• Never use the device without water!
• Never use the device on cold glass surfaces or at outside temperatures of below 10 °C. The hot steam could cause the glass to shatter.
• Always try cleaning first at a small, inconspicuous spot.
• Never direct the steam at one spot for too long.
• The water reservoir must not be opened during use!
• The device has a safeguard (13) which blocks the steam trigger (15) so that it cannot be pressed accidentally. To (de)activate the safeguard, push in the securing pin.
• Water may emerge from the attachment when you first start using it. This is normal and does not constitute a defect with the device.
• As the pipe in the device has to fill with steam, you may need to press the steam trigger (16) several times when you start using it before steam starts emerging.
• How much steam is emitted depends mainly on the speed and frequency with which the steam trigger (15) is pressed. The faster you press it, the more steam is emitted. However, this is at the expense of the temperature.

1. Attach the attachment you want to the device (see the “Mounting the Accessories” chapter).

2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket that is easily accessible. Steam starts to be generated and the control lamp (17) lights up.

3. Wait until the control lamp goes out. Operating temperature has then been reached and you can start steam-cleaning: Press the steam trigger (15) and move the attachment over the surface to be cleaned as you do so.
   If the steam trigger cannot be pressed, the safeguard (13) has probably been activated. Push in the securing pin to release the safeguard.

4. If the control lamp lights up, the temperature has dropped. Let go of the steam trigger and only press it again once the control lamp has gone out.

5. If the water reservoir is empty, steam will no longer be produced. If you want to top up the water in the reservoir (see the “Filling the Water Reservoir” chapter) or want to stop working, pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down completely. Keep pressing the steam trigger if necessary until no more steam emerges from the device. The water reservoir can then be opened.

6. Empty and clean the water reservoir each time after you use the device (see below) to prevent deposits in the reservoir and thus damage to the device!

7. After Use / Cleaning the Device
   • Empty and clean the water reservoir each time after you use the device to prevent deposits in the reservoir and thus damage to the device!
   • The water reservoir cannot be opened while it is pressurised. Pull out the mains plug and keep pressing the steam trigger until no more steam emerges from the device. The reservoir cap can then be screwed off.
   • Always pull the mains plug out of the plug socket when you are not using the device, before you open the water reservoir or remove an attachment.
   • The attachment and the water in the reservoir may still be hot shortly after use. You should therefore wait until they have completely cooled down before you remove the attachment or empty the water reservoir.
   • Never immerse the device in water or other liquids!
   • Never touch the device, the cable or the plug with wet hands.
   • To extend the useful service life of the steam cleaner, it should be regularly descaled with a standard commercial descaling agent. Note the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging of the descaling agent.
   • Empty the water reservoir: Unscrew the reservoir cap and remove it Hold the device over a sink or similar outlet and allow all of the water to run out of the reservoir.
   • Wash the cleaning cloth and floor cloth after every use in accordance with the washing instructions.
