Operation
First carry out a test on an unobtrusive area to be
certain that the material to be cleaned is suitable for
high pressure steam, for instance:
• Painted wood or leather can be bleached by
steam.
• Unprotected wood can expand.
• Protective wax coatings can be removed by steam.
• Plastics can become tarnished from the effects of
steam.
• Soft plastics can deform when exposed to steam.
• Cold glass or mirror surfaces can crack when
sprayed with hot steam.
• If you wish to clean windows, you must first pre-
heat them, for instance by applying the steam over
large areas from a greater distance, then moving
in progressively closer.
• Draw the glass attachment i in sweeps from top to
bottom over glass surfaces. Wipe the rubber edge
and the lower window border dry with a cloth
after every sweep.
• Acrylics, velvet and linen react sensitively to hot
steam, as do plastic fibres.
Attaching /Removing Accessories
• Select a suitable accessory (i-a, f-h) as per the
details in the chapter „Appliance description and
accessories“ for the proposed cleaning task.
• Attach the accessory to the front of the connec-
ting nozzle y, such that the locking button u
engages in the recess on the accessory.
• To release it, press the locking button u down and
pull the accessory off.
• To use the angle nozzle f or the round brush g,
the narrow-jet nozzle h must first be attached.
• Attach the angle nozzle f or round brush g, up
to the marking on the narrow-jet nozzle h.
• If using the multi-purpose nozzle o, place the tex-
tile overlay a on the multi-purpose nozzle o.
Filling with Water
Warning:
Before refilling with water:
• Allow the appliance to cool down, to avoid
being scalded.
• Remove the plug from the power socket, to
avoid the risk of an electric shock.
