1. Check that the disinfectant tank is full. If not, fill it ( Chapter 3.6, "Filling
B
the disinfectant tank").
2. Turn the control for the addition of disinfectant on the steam pistol in the
'MAX' direction (Fig. 17/A).
3. Insert the plug into a mains socket with a ground/safety contact and
proceed as described in
NOTE:
Disinfectant will be added to the jet of steam until the disinfectant tank is
empty or you turn the regulator for the addition of disinfectant back to the
OFF position (Fig. 17/B).
4. If you want to disinfect floors, cover each stretch of floor several times
so that a closed film of disinfectant is produced.

Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock. Always warm
glass surfaces before directly using steam on them. Do not work on win-
dow panes on cold days!
1. Warm the glass surface to be cleaned by applying steam from a dis-
tance of about 30 cm (Fig. 18/A).
2. After a time reduce the distance to about 20 cm to cover the glass sur-
face evenly with steam.
3. Stop the steam flow by releasing the steam button and engage the child
safety device on the steam pistol.
4. Strip the water off of the glass surface with the scraper lip of the 2-in-1
combi attachment (Fig. 18/B).
5. Wipe the scraper lip and the bottom edge of the glass surface dry after
each pass of the squeegee.

ATTENTION:
First test an unnoticeable part of the floor to see if the floor surface is
suited to steam cleaning.
NOTE:
Ensure that the carpet glider base is mounted to the floor nozzle
(Fig. 19/A). Otherwise you will not be able to effectively slide over the
carpet with the floor nozzle (Fig. 19/B).
NOTE:
We recommend using as little steam as possible and to do without disin-
fectant when steam cleaning carpets.
WARNING:
Danger of scalding! Never apply the steam jet directly to pieces of cloth-
ing while they are still being worn by persons or animals!
ATTENTION:
Before refreshing upholstery or clothes, make sure that their material
and colour is suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the cleaning rec-
ommendations of the material manufacturers.
NOTE:
We recommend to always use the cotton cover (Fig. 20) when refresh-
ing upholstery or clothing as this reduces the formation of condensation
drops that can adversely affect the cleaning result.
