„Filling the water tank". Wait for about 45 minutes. Once the steam
cleaner has cooled down you can switch it on again.
NOTE:
Your steam cleaner is not suitable for deep cleaning carpets or for
removing stubborn stains. To remove stubborn stains, we recommend
working on the stain beforehand with a chemical cleaner, provided the
particular flooring permits this.
NOTE:
It is recommended to first sweep or vacuum-clean floors before using
the steam cleaner on them.
WARNING:
Risk of scalding! Always point the steam jet downwards towards the
surface to be cleaned. Never lay the appliance on its side during
operation. Using the appliance in a horizontal position or even over your
head is forbidden.
WARNING:
Danger of falling! Always be especially careful when cleaning smooth
floors as well as steps and stairs! Only work with moderate steam
pressure when cleaning smooth floors, otherwise a moisture film will be
left on the floor. Using less steam also ensures quicker drying and
reduces the risk of slipping.

Before connecting the plug to the power supply, make sure that the
voltage stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket.
