Hard floors: stone, tiles, parquet, synthetic
• See section "Normal cleaning with a steaming
cloth".
• If a tiled floor is seriously stained, the first
steam cleaning treatment will take some extra
time (and steaming cloths).
However, if you steam clean the floor regularly
this will prevent the dirt from setting so that the
joints will maintain their original colour.
• Remember that the steam will also remove any
floor wax.

- Fix the special
squeegee nozzle to
the handgrip, if you
wish together with the

- Sponge up the dirty
water with an extra
cloth or a sponge
(fig. 35).
• You can also use the
large brush nozzle for
steam cleaning and
use a separate
squeegee and/or a
cloth to remove the dirty water.
• When it is extremely cold, do not steam
clean your window panes (esp. single pane)
as the sudden heating might cause the
glass to break.
• Ceramics (wash basin, tub and other bathroom
fixtures) can also be cleaned as described for
glass.
• Ensure that there are no scratching particles
(e.g. grains of sand) on scratch sensitive
surfaces (e.g. window panes, mirrors) before
steam cleaning.
Joints of tiles

- First clean thoroughly
with one of the round
brushes on the "Turbo"
nozzle. Move the
nozzle to and fro along
the length of the joint
(fig. 36).
- Sponge up the dirty
water with an extra
cloth or a sponge
(fig. 37), or fix a
steaming cloth to the brush nozzle and use this
to absorb the diluted dirt (fig. 38).
Stubborn stains and hard to reach spots
To clean hard to reach spots and to remove
stubborn stains and calcarous deposits select the
"Turbo"nozzle.
This nozzle concentrates the steam jet to one
point.
