WARNING! RISK OF SCALDING!
CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Start by carrying out a test on an unobtrusive area to be certain that the
material is suitable for cleaning with a steam cleaner, for instance:
– Painted/varnished wood or leather can be bleached by steam.
– Unprotected wood can swell up.
– Protective wax coatings can be dissolved by steam.
– Plastics can become tarnished from the effects of steam.
– Soft plastics can deform when exposed to steam.
– Cold glass or mirror surfaces can crack when sprayed with hot steam.
► If you wish to clean windows, you must first preheat them, for instance by
applying the steam over large areas from a greater distance, then moving
in progressively closer.
► Acrylics, velvet and silk react sensitively to hot steam, as do plastic fibres.
