sitions: 



Set selector switch to the required steam volume.



While operating the steam switch, always direct the 
steam gun at a separate piece of cloth until the 
steam is emitted evenly.

Note:

 The heating of the steam cleaner is turned on in 
regular intervals during the operation of the appli-
ance in order to maintain the pressure in the boiler 
at a constant level. When the heating is turned on, 
the orange indicator lamp (heater) lights up.

Water needs to be filled into the boiler, if the steam vol-
ume decreases during work and no more steam is emit-
ted in the end.

 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, par-
quet; wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can 
come loose or stains can be created. When cleaning 
these surfaces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the sur-
faces with it.

ATTENTION

Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge 
band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on un-
sealed wooden or parquet floors.

In case of low outside temperatures, especially in the 
winter, warm up the window pane by slightly steaming 
the entire glass surface. This will prevent tensions on 
the surface which might lead to glass breakage.
Then clean the window surface with the hand nozzle 
and attachment. Use a squeegee to remove the water 
or wipe the surfaces dry. 

ATTENTION

Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of the win-
dow frame to prevent damage.

You can use the steam gun without any additional ac-
cessories, e.g.:
–

to remove light wrinkles from hanging clothes by 
steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.

–

to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance 
of 20-40 cm.

–

for moist dusting, by briefly steaming the cloth and 
wiping the furniture with it.
