Use the rear bristles on the brush itself to soften and remove heavy dirt and
grime if necessary.
Attention
• Parquet and other delicate floor surfaces
When steam cleaning on parquet, minimise the steam quantity in order
not to cause damage. Work on a small area in order to see how the parquet
reacts to steam cleaning and do not place the brush directly on the wooden
surface but kept at a distance. See how the wood reacts. There are many
different types of parquet and each may react differently. If you have no
negative reaction from the parquet to the steam then you may slowly start
working with the brush on the floor and slowly add more steam, always
keeping in mind that the parquet may not show negative sign of reaction
to the steam right away.
If you find very resistant dirt, always work the localised area with steam in
order to soften the dirt through the heat and moisture of the steam until it
can simply be removed.
Give the dirt time in order to soften or liquefy prior to removal. After having
followed these steps you can now easily vacuum up the dirt by tilting
the brush back to the parallel position.
Attention - Parquet and other delicate floor surfaces
If used on parquet, use low steam, patch wise and then vacuum up, much
the way you would clean a window. Works well on floors with light dirt.
Avoid using the rear bristles on delicate surfaces.
How to use the Floor accessory with bristles 2.3
Use it for vacuuming all delicate surfaces such as parquet where you wish to
avoid scratches from the rougher profile of the Carpet Accessory 2.1.
Gets into every corner and along the walls, loosening dust and dirt with its
bristles before vacuuming up. Use it on tiles to remove dust and light dirt.
Always use delicately and without any liquid on the floor so that the bristles
stay clean and do not wear down quickly. Do not use to scrub.
Attention – never attempt to use this accessory with steam!
GENERAL USE
Very dirty surfaces
Brush the surface in order to remove most of the dirt, then give steam to
dissolve it, and stop the steam. Lastly, turn on the vacuum and go over the
surface by tilting the brush forward, drying and vacuuming the dirt.
Medium dirty surfaces
Operate with both steam and vacuum (depending, however, on the accessory
being used; device must be very well heated up to deliver perfect steam),
then turn off the steam. The brush must always be tilted forward (to facilitate
vacuuming). After finishing work, do not stop the vacuum immediately, to allow
the dirty water still inside the tube and hose to reach the recovery tank. Tilt the
brush face up to avoid any dripping.
Carpets and rugs
Attention – always vacuum your carpet or rug as well as possible before
using steam, this will avoid any dirt getting moist and sinking deeper into the
carpet. The appliance can clean and disinfect any kind of carpet or rug with
the exception of long-haired rugs, these will tend to close the water jets and
lead to bad filtration. With rugs made of sheep's wool please test on a small
section before steam cleaning the whole rug, the heat may cause a change
of colour in the wool or lead to shrinking. Steam cleaning will revive colours,
restore the original thickness and eliminate impurities from the carpet bottom
layer. If your carpets and rugs are dusty on top, start by using the big brush
