4. Information on usage
4.1 Cleaning textiles
Before you use the steam cleaner on textiles
including delicate fabrics like Dralon, velvet, lea-
ther and items protected by Scotch Guard or any
similar substance, you should always test that
the material is resistant to steam by applying it
to a section not normally visible.
Apply steam to the concealed section and then
leave it to dry. Check to see that the colour and
shape have not been affected before moving to
a visible area. In case of doubt it is always better
to consult your steam cleaner dealer.
Use only the steam gun without attachments to
apply steam from 30- 45 cm on these delicate
fabrics, then wipe off with a cotton cloth.
4.2 Cleaning hard surfaces
Do not direct steam onto glued edges of objects,
otherwise the edge strip could be become deta-
ched. Do not use the steam cleaner on wood or
parquet floors that have not been sealed.
Some surfaces can change colour and texture
when treated with steam. Consult the manufactur-
ers recommendations first, and always test in a
non visible place and then let it dry, to see whe-
ther changes in colour or textures occur. In case
of doubt and on sensitive materials like coated or
painted surfaces, wood, waxed marble etc. it is
always better to ask your steam cleaner dealer
for advice.
If steam is applied for too long, wax, furniture po-
lish, plastic coating or paint could be lifted off or
marks could be caused. You should therefore cle-
an these types of surface with a separate cloth to
which steam has been applied or very briefly with
a double layer of cloth attached to the nozzle.
4.3 Cleaning glass surfaces
Do not apply steam jet directly to the sealed
parts of the window round the frame, otherwise
the seal could be damaged.
When the outside temperature is low, especially
in winter, warm the window pane by applying a
small amount of steam across the whole surface
of the glass. This will even out any differences in
temperature and avoid stresses in the glass. This
is important because glass surfaces that are
heated by varying amounts can shatter.

5. How to use the accessories
5.1 Steam gun (C1)
The steam gun can be used without any addi-
tional accessories.
Typical applications:
– eliminating odours and creases in clothing:
hang the item of clothing up and apply steam
from a distance of 10–20 cm.
– removing dust from plants:
maintain a distance of 20–40 cm.
– dusting objects with a damp cloth:
apply a small amount of steam to a cloth and
wipe over the furniture.
5.2 Spot nozzle (E1)
The closer you hold the nozzle to the object
being cleaned, the easier it is to remove the
dirt. Temperature and pressure are at their
greatest immediately the steam is discharged
from the nozzle.
Typical applications:
– locations that are difficult to access, such as
corners and joints
– taps, drains
wash-basins, WC, shower cabins
– blinds, radiators
– stainless steel, enamel surfaces
– dissolve stains
Apply vinegar to stubborn stains caused by
scale and leave it to soak for approx. 5 min.
5.3 Floor nozzle
• Attach the floor cloth (G3) to the floor nozzle
(G1). Fold the cloth lengthways and place the
floor nozzle on top. Pull the ends of the cloth
one after the other under the retaining clips
(G2).
• To remove the cloth, press down on the re-
taining clips and pull it out.
• Turn the floor cloth over or replace it regular-
ly. This will enable you to wipe up more dirt.
