Important application instructions

Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing.
Freshening up textiles
Prior to using the appliance, always check the compati-
bility of the textiles at a concealed point: Steam down
the textile, allow it to dry and then check it for any
change in colour or shape.
Cleaning coated or painted surfaces
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings
or paint and edge band from edges.
Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as the
edge band may loosen.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning unsealed wood or
parquet floors.
Do not use the appliance for cleaning painted or plastic
coated surfaces such as kitchen or living room furniture,
doors or parquet.
