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.
Plastic/metal brushes can scratch sensitive surfaces. They are not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
