Technical Features

Proper use

The appliance is intended for the generation of steam
–
and for vacuuming up spilled fluids and solid particles.
This appliance is suited for the commercial use, e.g. in
–
hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices, and
rental companies.

Cleaning of various materials

Please read the cleaning instructions of the manufac-
–
turer before treating leather, special fabrics and wood-
en surfaces and always do a trial on a sample or some
hidden part. Let the steam-treated surface dry and then
check whether there are any changes to the colour or
form on account as reaction to the steam.
We recommend that you be very careful while cleaning
–
wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) because long
exposure to steam can damage the wax coating, the
finish or the surface colours. Hence we recommend

Refreshing textiles

Always test the compatibility of the fabrics on a hidden spot
prior to treating them with the appliance: Steam first, then
allow to dry before checking for colour changes or defor-
mation.

When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, as
found on kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet;

faces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
