USER MANUAL STEAMTEC 5 IH NILFISK

Do not switch the cleaner on if there is no water in the boiler.

Before using the steam cleaner, always read the operating instructions and keep them readily available.

Do not start the cleaner near explosive and/or easily flammable substances.

The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely (IEC/

EN 60335-1) (deviations for Australia and New Zealand). Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance (IEC/EN 60335-1) (deviations for Australia and New Zealand).

Danger of scalding! The steam produced by the appliance can reach very high temperatures. Metal parts, water and hot steam can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with hot cleaner surfaces, emerging water and steam. The use of the steam cleaner is subject to valid national regulations. Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety and proper use. Do not use any unsafe work techniques.

Before starting up the cleaner, check that it is in proper condition.

Use only tap water or distilled water to fill the boiler. Distilled water extends the service life of the cleaner. Cleaning agents, scents, solvents and other chemical substances may damage the cleaner and may be a risk to health.

Regularly check whether the steam hose and power cord are damaged or show signs of age. Only use the cleaner if the steam hose and power cord are intact. Check the rated voltage of the steam cleaner before connecting it to the mains supply system. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply. Never touch the plug and electrical cables with wet hands. It is recommended that the steam cleaner should be connected via a residual current circuit breaker. This stops the supply of electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has an earth tester circuit.

Do not leave the cleaner near to sources of heat (fire, radiators, heating fans or other equipment that radiates heat) and never cover the cleaner.

The steam jet can be dangerous if it is misused. Never direct the jet on to persons, animals, electrically powered equipment or the cleaner itself. Filling aperture must not be opened during use. Remove condensed water from the nozzle before starting up the cleaner and after every work break. To clean the nozzle, direct the steam jet into a tank or sink and actuate the steam lever on the steam gun. After cleaning the nozzle you can begin work again as normal. CAUTION: Materials containing asbestos and other hazardous substances should not be cleaned. Do not use the steam jet to clean switches, sockets, controllers, etc. and other electrical parts on electrical cleaners. Make sure that the child-proof lock is actuated on the handle during work breaks. To prevent the cleaner from being used inadvertently during work breaks, switch off the cleaner and pull out the mains plug.

Never leave the cleaner unsupervised when it is connected.

Allow the cleaner to cool down completely before storing it.

Store the cleaner in a dry place.

Never turn the cleaner over or tilt it while it is in operation.

Never use the cleaner when other people are nearby. Place the cleaner as far away as possible from the object to be cleaned.

Unsuitable extension cords can represent a source of danger. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the power cord overheating. Extension cords are not recommended, however if necessaray refer to the following recommendations: 1

STEAMTEC 5 IH Cord length m

Do not damage the power cord

(e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it). Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord). Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.

Never immerse the cleaner or its parts in or under water or other liquids. Risk of electric shock. The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed plug socket. Switching on the cleaner may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0.15If in doubt ask your local electricity supplier. Observe the latest edition of the IEC regulations.

Maintenance and repair

CAUTION! Always remove the plug from the power supply before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the cleaner. Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. Use only original Nilfisk spare parts. The power cord must not differ from the version specified by the manufacturer and may only be replaced by a repair service centre authorised by the manufacturer. Do not make technical modifications to the cleaner. 2

Do not make technical modifications to the cleaner.

Recycling the steam cleaner

Make the old cleaner unusable immediately. 1. Unplug the cleaner and cut the power cord. Do not discard of electrical appliances with household waste. As specified in European Directive 2002/96/EC on old electrical and electronic appliances, used electrical goods must be collected separately and recycled ecologically. Contact your local authorities or your nearest dealer for further information.

Our general conditions of business are applicable with regard to the guarantee. Subject to change as a result of technical advances.

The cleaner has been approved in accordance with IEC/EN 60336-2-54.

This cleaner is for domestic use only. Only use the cleaner for the cleaning jobs described in the operating manual. This cleaner is suitable for cleaning heat and moisture resistant surfaces. Read the operating manuals for the machines and equipment that you clean as there may be limitations stated by the manufacturer. Do not use the cleaner for ovens, microwaves, deep freezers, refrigerators and other electrical equipment. CAUTION: In the case of heat and moisture sensitive materials, make a test on a concealed place first. Begin with a low steam setting and keep a minimum distance of 6 cm. The high steam temperature/quantity may damage the object to be cleaned (e.g. varnished parquet, wood, wood ceilings, plaster, window frames, surface-treated wood, decorative beams, etc.).

STEAMTEC 5 IH Below we have listed some examples of applications:

Tiles, stone floors, plastic floors, linoleum

Marble: Never clean marble directly with the floor nozzle without a cloth.

It may be necessary to clean marble floors several times to completely remove old cleaning agents and grease stains. Select a low steam setting for this cleaning job. You can increase it as required. Tiles and ceramic floors: Black marks form in the crevices as a result of water and cleaning agents. Dust and other remains collect there. For daily cleaning stretch a fresh, clean cloth over the floor nozzle and secure it with the fastening clamps. Slide the floor nozzle gently over the floor. To use all of the cloth as far as possible, you can move it on the floor nozzle or reverse it. If the dirt is stubborn, you may clean the floor directly with the fold out brush without a cloth. The bristles loosen the dirt from the crevices and remove it. Subsequently, cover the floor nozzle with a cloth again and wipe over the floor again.

Tiles, washable wallpaper

Windows, shop windows, mirrors

Window panes: Use the window nozzle. Apply steam from top to bottom.

Scrape the rubber strip over the glass without steam in order to remove the condensed water. Make sideways movements from top to bottom in order to avoid marks. CAUTION In winter the front sides of the windows must be preheated. Hold the nozzle 5-10 cm in front of the pane and allow the heat to act. Select a low steam setting for inside cleaning of the windows. A high steam setting can be used for outside cleaning.

Furniture, cars, boats

Fit the floor nozzle directly on to the steam gun and use it with a clean white cotton cloth. Work using quick steam spurts so that the fabric does not become soaked. Treat stubborn stains with patience. Carefully steam one particular spot for not longer than one minute. Then wait five minutes and repeat the cleaning. Make circular movements, sideways and back and forth movements so that steam penetrates into all upper layers of the fabric. Finish the cleaning by brushing the fabric in one direction to give the fabric an even appearance.

Curtains, shower curtains, freshening of outer clothing, stain removal

The cleaner is excellently suited to smooth folds in clothes. It is sufficient to steam the fabric from a certain distance. The steam smoothes the folds without soaking the fabric as other steam devices for fabrics do.

Sanitary installations

Fittings, baths, shower cubicles and partitions, WCs, sauna, kitchens 1)

Grills 1) , extractors1) , kitchen cabinets, oven accessories

To clean a bath or shower, use the round brush to clean the rails of shower cubicles and other parts that are difficult to access or very dirty. The window wiper is very efficient to clean areas covered with tiles.

To clean sanitary installations, use the jet nozzle with or without the round brush. Use a sponge or kitchen paper to remove excessive moisture and remaining dirt.

Window frames, furniture, decorative beams, lamps1), chimney bricks, blinds, glass cabinets

Blinds: Use the small round nylon brush. Move the brush so long over the surface until steam penetrates it.

Blinds made of PVC must be treated quickly with steam. In the case of blinds made of fabric, test the material beforehand for colour fastness.

Dashboards, upholstery, door hinges, wheel rims

Bicycles, motorbikes

Frames, wheel rims, spokes, saddles

To clean the inside of your car, use the floor brush with a cloth for upholstery and other parts and follow the instructions for domestic cleaning. Do not use the brush without a cloth when you clean leather parts. For hub caps it is best to use the jet nozzle with the round brush attachment.

Do not use the steam jet to clean switches, sockets, controllers, etc. and other electrical parts on electrical cleaners.
