How to Operate

2. When the “steam ready” indicator comes on, the
steam cleaner is ready to use (Fig.3/4). The
operating temperature is reached after
approximately 8 minutes.
Using the Steam Cleaner
IMPORTANT: 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.
NOTE: Residual steam continues to escape for a few
seconds after switching off the steam function.
1. To use the steam, press the button on the steam
gun (Fig.3/5). Hot steam now escapes if the steam
button is operated. Hold the handle over an old
cloth to absorb any initial spray water. Operate the
steam button until the steam is emitted evenly.
Cleaning can now begin. To stop steam delivery
release the button on the steam gun.
NOTE: Always test the steam cleaner first on an
inconspicuous area 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 hot steam.
• Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres
without first having carried out a suitability test on
a concealed area.
2. For understandable reasons, the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible 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 steam cleaner.
NOTE: The steam cleaner is fitted with an
overheating cut-out. The steam cleaner switches off
automatically on reaching a temperature of 180˚C to
prevent overheating. Disconnect from the mains
immediately by removing the plug. The steam cleaner
may be operated again after completely cooling
down.
3. Do not aim the steam outlet at one point for too
long. Loosen the dirt by moving the steam jet
backwards and forwards.
4. Do not tip or tilt the steam cleaner by more than
45˚ during use and ensure that the steam cleaner
always stands on a firm base. One full tank is
enough for a maximum of 45 minutes use. Do not
leave the steam cleaner unsupervised while
switched on.
IMPORTANT: The housing and accessories become
hot during operation. Allow the steam cleaner to cool
down before changing the accessories. Never open
the tank cap while the steam cleaner is switched on
as the tank is under pressure.
