- Accessories

Extension Tubes 12

Assemble the extension hoses if the steam cleaner is to be used to clean floors or difficult to reach areas. To do this, push the open end of a tube into the steam gun until the release button of the steam gun clicks into place (Fig. B). Add one, or two extension tubes if required.
Press in the appropriate release button and pull the tubes apart with a downward movement to take the extension tube off again (Fig. D).

Floor Nozzle 10

• Attach the floor nozzle to the end of the extension tube. Ensure that the nozzle clicks into place on assembly. The floor nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable wall and floor coverings. It may be used with or without the cleaning cloth [11]. However, we recommend using the cloth to protect coverings in the case of sensitive surfaces such as wood or linoleum. Place the floor nozzle on the cleaning cloth and secure the overhanging material under the cleaning cloth clips on the left and right. The cleaning cloth can be secured in place (Fig .E).

① NOTE:

The floor nozzle is delivered with a separate connector for packaging reasons. Assemble the connector as illustrated.

Accessory Adaptor 3

The steam cleaner has a range of very varied attachment nozzles to enable the most effective and thorough cleaning of different surfaces. First assemble the accessory adaptor so that these attachments can be attached to the steam cleaner hose. The accessory adaptor can be attached directly to both the steam gun and the end of one or two extension tubes.
Ensure that the adaptor is firmly pushed on until it clicks into place. Press in the appropriate release button and pull apart with a downward movement to take the adapter off again.
The accessory adaptor may be used on its own for cleaning or may also be fitted with angle nozzle 4 large round brush 5 small round brush 6, upholstery nozzle 7. This accessory adaptor is attached using the bayonet principle. Push the nozzle into the accessory adaptor and give it a firm quarter turn in the direction of the arrow stamped on the nozzle.
Reverse the sequence to take the accessory adaptor off again: twist the nozzle a quarter of a turn in the opposite direction to the arrow and pull it off with a downward movement.

Angle nozzle 4

Simply push the jet nozzle firmly into the accessory adaptor to attach it. This nozzle makes it possible to clean hard to reach places such as corners, joints and toilets with ease. The jet nozzle may be removed by pulling it off with a downward movement.

Large / Small Round Brush 5 6

The two brush attachments are pushed firmly onto the accessory adaptor in the same way as the jet nozzle.
Even the most stubborn dirt can be removed, e.g. from blinds, central heating radiators, valves, etc, using the small nylon brush. The larger nylon brush is suitable for heavy staining on less sensitive materials such as stainless steel or stone. The brush nozzles are removed by simply pulling them off with a downward movement.

Upholstery nozzle / Window squeezegee 9

The Upholstery nozzle consists of a right-angled steam attachment onto which the window squeezegee can be attached. Push the right-angled steam attachment firmly onto the accessory adaptor. Pull the cotton cover over the nozzle for more thorough cleaning and to protect the work surface. Fix the window cleaner with the rubber blade to the right-angled steam attachment if windows, mirrors or tiles are to be cleaned.

Caution:

Glass may crack if subjected to thermal shock! Pre-heat areas of glass prior to steam cleaning by spraying steam in a wider arc from a distance of 20 - 25cm . Slowly reduce the distance to 10 - 15cm to heat the glass up further.

Operation

The product enters off mode when on/off switch [14] in position.

Filling the water Tank

DANGER! Risk of electric shock!
Before filling the water tank: Disconnected the power plug from mains socket.

Caution:

Always test the steam cleaner first on inconspicuous or invisible areas 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 temperature of steam.
• Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without first having carried out a suitability test on a concealed area. 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 appliance.

Only fill with tap water or distilled water without additives of any kind, e.g. perfume, cleaning agents alcohol, as they could damage the machine and make it dangerous to use. It is advisable to use distilled water to prevent limescale deposits if your water is very hard (over 2.5 mmol/l or 21 dH). Otherwise boil the water first to extend the appliance's service life.

Caution:

Do not exceed the maximum quantity of 0.8 litres when filling the tank!
Screw the tank cap firmly back on by turning it clockwise under pressure.

Tip:

The heating up time will be shortened if warm water is used when filling.

- Connection to Mains Supply

Plug the steam cleaner's mains plug into a proper installed socket (Fig. J).
Switch on the O/I switch 14 on the back of the machine in position I (Fig F).
The Power indicc23 lights up as soon as the product has been plugged in and switched on. The operating temperature is reached after approx. 6.5 minutes and the Steam indicator 24 lights up (Fig. K). The appliance is now ready for use.

Using the Steam Cleaner

Warning:

Never aim the steam outlet of the steam gun at people, animals, plants or electrical systems (e.g. oven or electric shock)!
Release the locking device (child-proof device) by pushing the pin from the right side towards middle side or left side (Fig. A). Hot steam now escapes if the steam button is operated. First of all, hold the steam gun over an old cloth to absorb any initial spray water. Press the steam trigger until the steam is emitted evenly. Cleaning can begin now.

① NOTE:

Residual steam continues to escape for a few seconds after switching off the steam function.

Do not aim the steam outlet at one point too long. Loosen the dirt by moving the steam jet backwards and forwards. The flow rate of the steam emitted can be regulated by turning the steam controller and can be adjusted to the level of dirtiness. Push the pin to middle for more steam and left for less steam. (Fig. A)

① NOTE:

The product is fitted with an overheating cut-out, to prevent overheating. Disconnect from the mains immediately by removing the plug. The appliance may be operated again after a 30-minute cooling period.
Do not tip or tilt the appliance by more than 45^ during use and ensure that the appliance always stands on a firm base. Do not leave the machine unsupervised while switched on and if necessary use the childproof lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the steam button on the steam gun, push the pin towards the right. (Fig. A)

Warning:

The housing and accessories become hot during operation! Allow the appliance 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!

- Topping Up With Water

The tank must be topped up if the steam flow emitted star to decrease. Remove the main plug from the socket. The green operating pilot lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun to release the remaining pressure and then lock the gun. Allow the appliance to cool down. Then by turning the tank cap anti-clockwise, you can put water inside.

Warning:

Hot steam may escape on opening!
There is a risk of burns from the cap thread and the tank!
Top up with water using the measuring jug and funnel (see Filling the Water Tank), then carefully close the tank cap again. The steam cleaner can now be plugged in again and switched on. The product is ready for use as soon as the heating pilot lamp goes off.

Ending Operation and Storage

Remove the main plug from the socket. The power indicator 23 goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun (Fig. L) to release the remaining pressure.
Secure the steam gun by pushing the locking pin towards the right side and allow the appliance to cool down.
Empty the water tank so that no deposits can settle.
Do not close the water tank until it has dried out completely. The steam cleaner must have cooled down completely before being put away. Store the appliance so that it is out of the reach of children. The extension tube with assembled floor nozzle may be inserted in the parking holder on the back of appliance for storage purposes or for short breaks whilst working.
