Use of accessories

be cleaned can cause streaks during steam cleaning,
but these disappear after repeated use.
Handle without accessories
Application examples
● Eliminate odours and creases from hanging clothes
by steaming them at a distance of 10-20 cm.
The cleaning effect increases the closer the nozzle is
held to the dirty area, since the temperature and pres-
sure of the steam are greatest at the emission point.
Application examples
● Use of the spotlight nozzle is recommended for
hard-to-reach areas.
● The cleaning of stainless steel, window panes, mir-
rors and enamel surfaces.
● The cleaning of corners on stairs, window frames,
door jambs and aluminium profiles.
● The cleaning of fittings.
● The cleaning of shutters and radiators. The interior
cleaning of vehicles.
Spotlight nozzle and accessories
● Round brush: Suitable for stubborn dirt on particu-
larly small surfaces such as cooker tops, roller shut-
ters, tile grout, sanitary facilities, etc.
Note
The round brush is not suitable for cleaning sensitive
surfaces.
● Extension: With this accessory, optimal cleaning is
possible for particularly inaccessible places. Ideal
for cleaning heaters, door jambs, windows, shutters
and sanitary installations.
Application examples
● The cleaning of large surfaces, floors made of ce-
ramics, marble, etc.
● Floor nozzle with rubber lip insert: For absorbing liq-
uids on smooth surfaces.
● Floor nozzle with brush strip insert: For dissolving
and scrubbing off stubborn contamination.
Application examples
● Cleaning large glass and mirror surfaces, smooth
surfaces in general or fabric surfaces such as sofas,
etc.
Manual nozzle and accessories
● Squeegee: For smaller surfaces,e.g. Muntin win-
dows and mirrors. For window panes and larger sur-
faces,e.g. Wall tiles, working areas and stainless
steel surfaces.
● Brush crown: For stairs, automobile interiors, fabric
surfaces in general (after testing on a concealed ar-
ea). For abrasive cleaning and scrubbing.
Note
Preheat the window pane in seasons with particularly
low temperatures. To do this, lightly steam the entire
glass surface at a distance of approx. 50 cm. This
avoids tension on the surface that can lead to glass
breakage.
1. Steam the glass surface evenly at a distance of ap-
prox. 20 cm to remove the dirt.
2. Switch off the steam supply.
3. Pull off the glass surface in strips from top to bottom
with the squeegee and vacuum.
