How to use the Accessories

Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is suitable for cleaning washable floor
coverings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors, and al-
so sealed wooden floors such as parquet and laminate.
ATTENTION
Damage due to steam effects
Heat and the effects of steam can lead to damage.
Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an in-
conspicuous area using a minimal steam volume prior
to use.
Steam clean sealed wooden floors using the correct,
preset steam level and do not remain in the same posi-
tion on the floor for too long
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can lead to streaks during steam cleaning,
which will disappear however once these have been
used several times.
CAUTION
Beware of burns to your feet
The floor nozzle/floor cleaning cloth heats up during
steaming.
Hot water may drip out when pulling off the floor cloth.
Only operate or remove the floor nozzle/floor cleaning
cloth with suitable footwear.
1. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.
a Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and
loop fastener pointing upwards on the floor.
b Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning
cloth, applying slight pressure.
Illustration D
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle
of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.
Micro fibre cloth
The microfibre floor cloth is suitable for cleaning stone
floors and PVC floors, and also sealed wooden floors
such as parquet and laminate. The microfibre floor cloth
is also suitable for freshening carpets when used in con-
junction with the carpet glider.
Abrasive floor cloth
The abrasive floor cloth is suitable for cleaning insensi-
tive surfaces such as tiles or stone.
ATTENTION
Damage to floor coverings
The abrasive floor cloth can damage sensitive floor cov-
erings and surfaces.
Do not use the abrasive floor cloth for cleaning wooden
surfaces.
Do not use the abrasive cloth with the carpet glider.
Removing the floor cleaning cloth
1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor
cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.

Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fas-
tener strip is very strong and cannot be removed
from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning
cloth has been used several times and washed, it is
easier to remove from the floor nozzle and it has
reached the optimum adhesion.

ATTENTION
Beware of damaging the carpet glider and carpet
Contamination on the carpet glider, as well as heat and
moisture penetration, can result in the carpet being
damaged.
Use the carpet glider only with a microfibre floor cloth on
the floor nozzle.
Steam clean using only the correct steam stage when
using the carpet glider (see the display indicator on the
handle, carpet floor covering symbol - medium steam
stage).
Prior to the application, also check the heat resistance
and impact of steam on the carpet at an insignificant
spot using the smallest steam volume.
Observe the cleaning instructions from the carpet man-
ufacturer.
Prior to using the carpet glider, make sure that the car-
pet has been vacuumed and that stains have been re-
moved.
Prior to use and following operating pauses, remove
any possible water accumulation (condensate) in the
device by evaporating the condensate into a drain (with-
out floor cleaning cloth / with accessories).
In order to prevent too much moistening and to avoid
the risk of damage due to temperature effects, do not di-
rect the steam continuously onto one spot (maximum
5 seconds).
Do not use the carpet glider on deep-pile carpets.
Fastening the carpet glider to the floor nozzle
