Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered
Surfaces
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated
surfaces, as found on kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furni-
ture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can
come loose or stains can be created. When
cleaning these surfaces, briefly steam a
cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
Caution
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges
as the edge band may loosen. Do not use
the steam cleaner on unsealed wooden or
parquet floors.
Cleaning of Glass
In case of low outside temperatures, espe-
cially 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 break-
age.
Then clean the window surface with the
hand nozzle and attachment. Use a squee-
gee to remove the water or wipe the surfac-
es dry.
Caution
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations
of the window frame to prevent damage.
Steam gun
You can use the steam gun without any ad-
ditional accessories, e.g.:
to remove odours and 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 contaminat-
ed area, the higher the cleaning effect, as
the temperature and the steam are highest
at the nozzle output. Especially suited for
cleaning difficult access locations, joints,
fittings, drains, sinks, toilets, blinds and
heaters. Heavy lime scale can be drenched
20
in vinegar prior to steam-cleaning. 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.
Caution
Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive sur-
faces.
 Illustration
Attach the round brush to the detail noz-
zle.
Power nozzle
The power nozzle can be installed onto the
detail nozzle as an accessory.
The power nozzle increases the emission
speed of the steam. Therefore, it is well-
suited for cleaning very tough dirt, blowing
out corners, grooves, etc.
 Illustration
Attach the power nozzle to the detail
nozzle according to the round brush.
Pull the terry cloth cover over the hand noz-
zle. Especially well-suited for small washa-
ble areas, shower stalls and mirrors.
Suited for all washable walls and floor cov-
erings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC
floors. Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to
allow the steam to act on the dirt for a long-
er period of time.
Note: Detergent residue or care emulsions
that are still present on the surfaces to be
cleaned, can lead to smears when steam
cleaned. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.
 Illustration
Attach the floor cloth to the floor nozzle.
1 Fold the floor cloth the long way and
place the floor nozzle on top of it.
2 Open holding clamps.
3 Place the cloth ends into the openings.
4 Close the holding clamps.
Caution
Do not insert fingers between the clamps.
