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 prior to the wet cleaning.
Refreshing textiles
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always check
the reaction of the textiles in an inconspicuous 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 surfaces, as
found on kitchen and living room furniture, doors, par-
quet; wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When cleaning
these surfaces, briefly steam a cloth and wipe the sur-
faces with it.
ATTENTION
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge
band may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on un-
sealed wooden or parquet floors.
Cleaning of Glass
In case of low outside temperatures, especially in the
winter, warm up the window pane by slightly 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 remove the water
or wipe the surfaces dry.
ATTENTION
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations of the win-
dow frame to prevent damage.
Steam gun
You can use the steam gun without any additional ac-
cessories, e.g.:
– to remove light wrinkles from hanging clothes by
steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.
– to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance
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 area, the
higher the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the
steam are highest at the nozzle output. Especially suit-
ed for cleaning difficult access locations, joints, fittings,
drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and heaters. Heavy lime
scale can be drenched in vinegar prior to steam-clean-
ing. 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.
ATTENTION
Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.

 Attach the round brush to the detail nozzle.
Hand nozzle
The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that
can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.
Illustration
 Push the manual nozzle onto the steam gun ac-
cording to the spotlight nozzle.
 Pull the cover over the manual nozzle.
Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is used for cleaning washable wall and
floor coverings e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
ATTENTION
Damage due to build-up of steam
Heat and moisture can lead to damage. Check the heat
resistance and steam effect on an inconspicuous area
using a minimal volume of steam prior to use.
NOTICE
Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can lead to streaks, which will disappear
however once these have been used several times.
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing commences. Work slowly on surfaces that are heav-
ily soiled so that the steam can impact longer.
Illustration
 Connect the extension tubes with the steam gun.
Illustration
 Push the floor nozzle onto the extension tube.
Illustration
 Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.
Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and
loop strips pointing upwards on the floor.
Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning cloth,
applying slight pressure.
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle of its
own accord due to the hook and loop fastening.
