OPERATION AND FUNCTION

English Over-heating protection The device is equipped with protection against overheating. The cleaner will switch-off automatically when the temperature becomes too high, in order to prevent over-heating. In this event, please remove the plug from the socket immediately. Allow the cleaner to cool down for 30 minutes before resuming work. Filling the water tank (Illustration 2) Always ensure that the plug of the unit is removed from the socket before filling or refilling the steam cleaner with water. Remove the lid of the water tank by pressing it down and turning anti-clockwise. Fill the tank with 1 litre of water using the funnel and measuring cup. Replace the lid and close it tightly by turning in the clockwise direction. The water tank should be emptied after use. Allow the inside of the water tank to dry before replacing the cover. Refilling the water tank If the water tank needs to be refilled during use, first switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the socket. Before opening the tank cover, release the pressure by pressing the steam switch on the steam gun, or allow the cleaner to cool down completely. The water tank can then be refilled as follows. Remove the lid of the water tank by pressing it down and turning anti-clockwise. Fill the tank with 1 litre of water using the funnel and measuring cup. Replace the lid and close it tightly by turning in the clockwise direction. Even after a cooling down period of 5 minutes, the remaining water in the tank and the tank lid will still be hot. Always take care when removing the tank lid, since hot steam may be emitted and the thread on the cover can still cause burns. The filter opening of the steam cleaner must never be opened during use (CONTAINER UNDER PRESSURE). Attention: never fill the tank with anything but cold water. The use of any other fluids can be dangerous and can lead to damage of the heating element. The use of distilled water is recommended particularly in areas with hard water in order to prevent the build-up of scale. Otherwise, use boiled water in order to prolong the working life of the steam cleaner. Power indicator light / On/Off switch When the water tank has been filled, insert the plug into the socket. Switch the unit on by pressing the on/off switch to ON. The power indicator light (red) should light up to indicate the steam cleaner has power. Steam Ready Light The steam ready light (yellow) will come on. The operating temperature will be reached in about 11 minutes at which point the steam ready light switches off. The unit is now ready for use. In order to avoid injury, the steam cleaner should be switched off during breaks or pauses during work by pressing the on/off switch to OFF If you leave the room, please switch the cleaner off, and remove the plug from the socket (by pulling on the plug and not on the power supply cable).20 English

English Steam-output indicator (Illustration 3) With the steam-output indicator you can determine the steam emission. It is possible to set the output of steam between MIN (minimum); no steam and MAX (maximum). Should no steam be emitted from the unit during use, then check: - The setting of the steam-output indicator. - If the unit has been switched on and has reached the selected temperature. - If the steam output has been locked (see “Safety Lock”) - If all the connecting pieces have been properly assembled. - If the steam hose has been properly attached to the unit. Should the above-mentioned check not result to release of steam, please switch the device off and pull the plug from the wall socket. Let the device cool down completely and then check if there is water in the tank. If not, please fill the unit as described at the header “filling the water tank”. Should there be sufficient water in the tank, please start using the device once more. If there is still no steam coming from the unit, then please contact us. Steam Gun (Illustration 4) Before you can start using the device, please ensure the steam hose has been connected to the unit correctly. You can also do this after you have fixed accessories to the steam gun. Pull down the lid of the steam socket at the front and insert the hose in a proper manner by lining up the 4 ridges. Push the two pieces well into each other. The cleaner is ready for use when the yellow steam ready switches off. Ensure that the safety lock on the steam gun is off. When you press the trigger on the steam gun, steam will be emitted from the nozzle. Direct the steam gun at a cloth first, until the steam is emitted evenly. Now keep the trigger pressed, and direct the steam jet at the surface to be cleaned, removing the dirt by moving the steam jet to and fro over the surface. The steam jet will stop as soon as you release the steam trigger. Safety Lock (Illustration 5) When the safety lock is pushed to the forward position, the steam switch cannot be pressed. Push the lock to the rear position to release the steam switch. In order to ensure safe use, even in case of accidental contact with liquids, the steam gun is isolated from the electrical power supply (zero-volt system). When cleaning surfaces with the steam gun, wipe the surface dry afterward using a micro-fibre or cotton cloth if necessary; this will also remove any excess moisture for thorough cleaning. In order to control the steam output and cleaning power at the surface, move the steam gun closer to or further away from the surface. Do not hold the steam gun concentrated for too long on a single spot. Extension tubes (Illustration 6) Depending on the task in hand, you can fit one, two or three extension tubes. Push the extension tube onto the connection nozzle as far as it will go until you hear it click into place. Then attach the floor head.22 English

English Floor Head The floor head is supplied with a separate connection fitting. To use the floor head, push the connection fitting onto the rear side of the floor head and turn it 180 degrees upwards. This has to be done only once. The floor head is now fully assembled. (Illustration 7) The floor head is used for the cleaning of large washable wall and floor areas. The floor head can be used either with or without a floor cloth. Sensitive surfaces (wood, linoleum etc.) should always be cleaned using the cloth supplied. Place the floor head on the cleaning cloth and pull the cloth under the clips at both sides. The cleaning effect of a floor cloth can be improved by turning and changing the cloth regularly. To clean very dirty areas, move the floor head over the surface more slowly in order to increase the cleaning action of the steam. Attention: the device is not suitable for cleaning unsealed wooden floors, soft plastics or wooden furniture. Integrated storage compartment (Illustration 8) All the accessories are conveniently stored in the housing of the unit. To reach the accessories, you must place the unit on a flat surface. Lift the upper part of the unit, using the carrying handle, while you press the storage button with your other hand. To replace the upper part on to the device, place it straight on the bottom part and you press until it locks audibly. (Illustration 9) Attachment adapter (Illustration 10) Push the attachment adapter as far as it will go onto the connection nozzle of the steam gun until you hear it click. The attachment adapter remains locked in position. The attachment adapter can be removed again by pressing the release button and pulling the adapter off. Concentration nozzle The concentration nozzle is pushed directly onto the attachment adapter until it clicks into place. It can be used with various fittings (jet nozzle attachment, brush attachments, 2-in-1 combination attachment), depending on the task in hand The concentration nozzle can be used with various fittings for cleaning: inaccessible areas such as corners, joints, blinds, radiators, toilet bowls, taps, stainless steel, windows, mirrors, enameled surfaces, stain removal. Jet nozzle attachment The jet nozzle attachment can be fitted directly to the concentration nozzle. The jet nozzle attachment is fitted by pushing and twisting, and removed by pulling and twisting. Brush attachment The brush attachment can be fitted directly to the concentration nozzle. Choose the right brush attachment (plastic or metal bristles) for the task at hand. The brush attachment is fitted by pushing and twisting, and removed by pulling and twisting. 2-in-1 combination attachment The rectangular shaped steam head can be fitted directly onto the concentration nozzle. The head is fitted by pushing and twisting and removed by pulling and twisting. It can be used either with or without the cotton cover, depending on cleaning requirements. It is perfect for the care and cleaning of cushions, carpets, car seats, bathrooms and kitchens.24 English AFTER USE Window attachment – Push the window attachment onto the head until you hear it click into place. You can now fit the window attachment to the concentration nozzle by pushing it into place, and remove it by pulling it off after the work has been completed. Perfect for cleaning windows, mirrors, ceramic tiles and surfaces and other non-porous, smooth surfaces. Apply the steam evenly to the glass surface from a distance of about 20 cm. Then switch the steam off and wipe the moisture off the glass from top to bottom in strips using the rubber squeegee. Wipe the rubber squeegee and the lower edge of the window dry after every strip. Attention: glass surfaces can be shattered by the sudden application of excessive heat. Before cleaning such glass surfaces with the steam-cleaner, warm them up by applying steam to the surface from a distance of 20-25 cm. Continue by applying steam from a distance of 10-15 cm. Remove the plug from the socket before fitting or changing accessories. The accessories will become hot during use – allow them to cool down before replacement. Switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the socket. Wait until the cleaner has cooled down completely. Empty the water tank. Allow the inside of the water tank to dry out before replacing the lid. Store the unit in a dry area safely out of the reach of children. Attention: before opening the lid to empty the tank, release the steam pressure by pressing the steam trigger on the steam gun, or allow the cleaner to cool down completely.
