How to Use the Acecssories
 Please read the cleaning instructions of the manu-
facturer before treating leather, special fabrics and
wooden surfaces and always do a trial on a sample
or some hidden part. Let the steam-treated surface
dry and then check whether there are any changes
to the colour or form on account as reaction to the
steam.
 We recommend that you be very careful while
cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.)
because long exposure to steam can damage the
wax coating, the finish or the surface colours.
Hence we recommend that you use steam only for
short intervals or first clean the surface with a cloth
that has been steam-moistened.
For highly sensitive surfaces (for e.g. synthetic ma-

terials, painted surfaces, etc.) we recommend that
you use the steam function at the minimum perfor-
mance level.
 Cleaning of stainless steel: Avoid the use of abra-
sive brushes. Use hand nozzle with rubber lip or
detail nozzle without a round brush.
Refreshing textiles
 Always test the compatibility of the fabrics on a hid-
den spot prior to treating them with the appliance:
Steam first, then allow to dry before checking for
colour changes or deformation.
ATTENTION
Material damage if the setting of the steam level is too high.
 Sensitive floors, such as parquet floors may only be
cleaned with the highest suction performance and
minimum steam level.
Application examples
 Cleaning of large surfaces, floors made of ceram-
ics, marble, parquet, carpets, etc.
 Floor nozzle with brush strip insert: For etching and
scrubbing down stubborn soiling.
 Floor nozzle with rubber lip insert: For vacuuming
up liquids from smooth surfaces.
 Floor nozzle with hard rubber insert: Cleaning and
refreshing of carpeting.
