The green operating pilot lamp and the orange heating pilot lamp
(Fig. 21) light up. The operating pilot lamp lights up as soon as the
Vapormate M 388 has been plugged in and switched on. The heating
pilot lamp indicates that the steam cleaner is currently heating up. The
operating temperature is reached after approx. 11 minutes and the
orange heating pilot lamp goes out. The appliance is now ready for use.
Warning:
Never aim the steam outlet of the steam gun at people, animals,
plants or electrical systems (e.g. oven or socket). There is a risk of
scalding or electric shock!
Release the locking device (child-proof device) by pushing the yellow
triangular pin on the right-hand side of the steam gun in towards the
left (Fig. 22). Hot steam now escapes if the steam button is operated.
First of all hold the steam gun over an old cloth to absorb any initial
spray water. Operate the steam button until the steam is emitted
evenly. Cleaning can now begin.
Caution:
Always test the steam cleaner first on inconspicuous or invisible
areas of the surfaces or fabrics to be cleaned to check their
tolerance to hot steam.
- Steam may result in bleaching of painted/varnished wood.
- Steam may discolour shiny plastics.
- Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the temperature of
steam.
- Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without first having
carried out a suitability test on a concealed area.
For understandable reasons, the manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for damage to objects, materials, people, animals or plants that
occurs due to unsuitable use of hot steam or due to improper use of the
appliance.
