Important application instructions

Cleaning of Textiles

Before you use the steam cleaner for the cleaning of textiles, you should always test the resistance of the fabrics against steam by means of cleaning a hidden spot. Apply steam to the hidden spot, and then let it dry. Check whether the colour and shape of the area have changed.

Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces

￿WARNING

Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on wooden or parquetry floors that have not been sealed.

Be careful when you clean kitchen and liv- ing room furniture, doors, parquetry, lac- quered or plastic-coated surfaces! Upon a longer influence of steam, wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings, or paint may come off, or stains may occur. Therefore, you should only clean such surfaces using a piece of cloth to which steam has been ap- plied or very briefly using a double layer of cloth on the nozzle.

Cleaning of Glass

￿WARNING

Never direct the steam jet directly at the sealed parts of the window around the window frame to prevent damages of the sealing.

In case of low outside temperatures, espe- cially in the winter, warm up the window pane. Apply a small quantity of steam to the entire glass surface. Thus, you compen- sate temperature differences and avoid stresses in the glass surface. This is of im- portance because glass surfaces that are heated unevenly may crack.

Steam gun (C1)

You can use the steam gun without any ad- ditional accessories.

Application:

–elimination of odours and creases from garments: Apply steam to the hanging garment from a distance of 10–20 cm.

–Removing dust from plants: Respect a distance of 20-40 cm.

–dusting with a damp cloth: Apply a small amount of steam to a cloth, and then use this cloth to wipe over the furniture.

Detail nozzle (D1)

The closer you hold the nozzle to the dirty spot, the higher the cleaning effect as tem- perature and pressure of the steam reach their maximum values immediately when they are emitted from the nozzle.

Application:

–Fittings, drains

–Wash-basins, toilets

–Blinds, radiators

–Stain removal: Moisten stubborn lime- stone with vinegar, and allow to react for approximately 5 minutes.

Round brush (D2)
