Safety guidelines

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
- Connect the appliance only to mains power sockets supplying a mains power voltage of 220 - 240V /50Hz
In the event of operating malfunctions, and before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket.
-
To disconnect the power cable, always pull the plug from the socket, do not pull the power cable itself.
-
Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
-
To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or power cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
-
Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or moist during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged.
-
Should the appliance, the power cable or the plug become damaged, arrange for them to be repaired by Customer Services to avoid hazardous situations.
-
Disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket before fi lling it with water, changing accessories or cleaning it.
Use the appliance only in dry indoor areas, not outdoors.
Never submerse the appliance in water or other liquids!
-
Never aim the steam jet directly at electrical appliances or equipment which contains electrical components, such as the interior of ovens.
-
Never leave a heat-generating device unattended! After use or during work pauses, always remove the plug from the mains power socket. The appliance heats up and generates steam pressure continuously when the plug is connected to a mains power socket!
-
Use the appliance only with dry hands and never without shoes (i.e. not barefoot). This will help reduce the effect of an electric shock in the event of a malfunction.
-
Never aim the appliance at moisture-sensitive objects.
This appliance may be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks. The appliance must not be used as a plaything by children.
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Never remove the safety valve if steam is still exiting the steam nozzle!
- Do not operate the appliance with an empty water tank. When the water reserve is used up, remove the power cable to prevent the appliance from overheating.
The accessories will get hot during use! There is a risk of scalding!
- Allow the accessories used to cool down before dismantling them.
- Use only the original accessory parts for this appliance. Other accessories may not meet the safety requirements.
The appliance may not be used if it has been dropped, if there are any obvious signs of physical damage or if it is leaking.
The appliance must be kept out of the reach of children if it is switched on or is cooling down.
- Wear gloves, protective glasses and breathing protection equipment when attempting to remove substances that could be hazardous to health.
- Never direct the steam toward people or animals. Hot steam can cause serious injuries!
WARNING! RISK OF SCALDING!

This symbol warns you about escaping steam. Please follow the safety instructions!
CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
-
Start by carrying out a test on an unobtrusive area to be certain that the material is suitable for cleaning with a steam cleaner, for instance:
-
Painted/varnished wood or leather can be bleached by steam.
- Unprotected wood can swell up.
- Protective wax coatings can be dissolved by steam.
Plastics can become tarnished from the effcts of steam. - Soft plastics can deform when exposed to steam.
- Cold glass or mirror surfaces can crack when sprayed with hot steam.
If you wish to clean windows, you must first preheat them, for instance by applying the steam over large areas from a greater distance, then moving in progressively closer.
Acrylics, velvet and silk react sensitively to hot steam, as do plastic fi bres.
Operating the appliance
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
To ensure fault-free operation and a long service life for the appliance, pay heed to the following instructions:
- Do not press the steam level until the green control lamp lights up. If you press too early, it may cause an accumulation of hot water in the steam nozzle which will drip or spray from the nozzle. There is a risk of scalding.
Before switching off, allow all of the steam to escape from the appliance. Press the steam lever until no more steam comes out of the steam nozzle.
If the appliance is to be used in continuous operation, the "Child safety lock" button 2 with the symbol 1 must be pressed before switching off.
Filling/refi lling with water
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Always disconnect the plug from the mains power socket before you add water to the water tank 3!
Open the safety vo8e
CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Do not put any additives or cleaning agents in the water tan 3!
NOTE
Ensure that you fill the appliance's water tag with around 250~ml of water.
Fill the water with water through the fi Iller opening.
To do this, use the supplied measuring 16 and the funnel 17 for assistance (see figure). Fill the measuring cup with water up to the marking line (approx. 250 ml).

Reclose the safety vc8e
If there is no more water in the water tan, no steam will come out when the steam lever is pressed The water tank must be filled as follows:
Remove the plug from the mains power socket.
Wait about 10 seconds.
Slowly open the safety valve before fully opening up the valve, wait a few seconds until the hissing of the water vapour stops.
Fill the water t3 kwith water.
Reclose the safety v8e
If the mains water at your locality is rated as hard, it is recommended that you mix the mains water with distilled water. Otherwise, the appliance could calcify prematurely and clog the steam nozzle ⑥.
To extend the optimal functioning of the appliance, mix the mains water with distilled water as per the following table.
| Water hardness | Ratio of distilled water to mains water |
| very soft/soft 0 | |
| medium 1:1 | |
| hard 2:1 | |
| very hard 3:1 |
The water hardness level of your tap water can be queried at your local water works.
Operating the appliance

NOTE
While heating up, steam may occasionally escape from the steam nozzle.
3) Press the steam lever ① downwards. Steam comes out of the steam nozzle ⑥ . If the steam pressure drops, the green control lamp ⑤ will go out.

The steam cleaner has a thermal cut-out. It switches itself off automatically in case of overheating (e.g. due to an empty water tank). If this happens, pull out the mains plug and refill the water tank.
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
If you stop working for an extended period of time and leave the appliance switched on, steam may occasionally escape even though the steam lever is not pressed.
