How to Use the Accessories
Important application instructions
Cleaning floor surfaces
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 pri-
or to the wet cleaning.
Refreshing textiles
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always
check the reaction of the textiles in an inconspic-
uous location: Steam at first, then let dry and
then check for colour or shape changes.
Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfac-
es, as found on kitchen and living room furniture,
doors, parquet; wax, furniture polish, plastic sur-
faces 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.
Cleaning of Glass
In case of low outside temperatures, especially
in the winter, warm up the window pane by slight-
ly 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 re-
move the water or wipe the surfaces dry.
Caution
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of
the window frame to prevent damage.
Steam gun
You can use the steam gun without any addition-
al accessories, e.g.:
–
to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging
clothes by steaming them at a distance of 10
to 20 cm.
–
to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a dis-
tance of 20-40 cm.
–
for moist dusting, by briefly steaming the
cloth and wiping the furniture with it.
Detail nozzle
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated ar-
ea, the higher the cleaning effect, as the temper-
ature and the steam are highest at the nozzle
output. Especially suited for cleaning difficult ac-
cess locations, joints, fittings, drains, sinks, toi-
lets, blinds and heaters. Heavy lime scale can be
drenched in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. Let
the vinegar penetrate for about 5 minutes.
Round brush
The round brush can be installed onto the detail
nozzle as an accessory. Attached brushes can
therefore be used to remove heavy soiling.
Caution
Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.
Illustration
Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
Steam turbo brush
The steam turbo brush is set swinging by the
emitted steam and is suited ideally for the easy
cleaning of extreme dirt at places in the kitchen
and the bathroom that are difficult to access.
Caution
Using the turbo steam brush for longer periods
can lead to circulation problems in the hand
caused by hands (finger cramps, cold fingers).
Please take a break if that happens.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid op-
eration time, since this depends on several fac-
tors:
–
Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies
(cold, numb fingers).
–
A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
–
Continuous operation is worse than an oper-
ation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of the tur-
bo steam brush and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers)
please consult a physician.
Hand nozzle
Pull the terry cloth cover over the hand nozzle.
Especially well-suited for small washable areas,
shower stalls and mirrors.
Microfibre abrasive cover
Pull up the microfibre abrasive cover over the
hand nozzle.
Especially well-suited for removing calcium and
soap residues in the bath-room (for e.g shower
cabins, tiled walls).
Can be washed at 60 °C; please do not use any
fabric softener. Not suitable for drier.
