It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the
floor prior to using the steam cleaner. This
way, the floor is already cleared of dirt/
loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner,
always check the reaction of the textiles in
an inconspicuous location: Steam at first,
then let dry and then check for colour or
shape changes.
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated
surfaces, as found on kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furni-
ture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When
cleaning these surfaces, briefly steam a
cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
Caution
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges
as the edge band may loosen. Do not use
the steam cleaner on unsealed wooden or
parquet floors.
