Use

CAUTION!

• Use the device only if it has been fully and correctly assembled and the floor cloth has been attached for cleaning floors.
• Beware of the risk of scalding! After you switch off the device, hot steam may continue to emerge for a few seconds! Even after cooling, the water in the reservoir still remains hot!

We recommend that, before using the device, you sweep the floor with a broom or vacuum it using a vacuum cleaner.

1. Pull the floor cloth (12) over the cleaning foot (10) and pull the draw cord tight so that it cannot slip off.

Use the carpet glider (11) that is also supplied to clean carpets. To do this, place the carpet glider (11) flat on the carpet to be cleaned and place the cleaning foot (10) with the floor cloth (12) on the carpet glider (11).

1. Stand the device upright. The joint of the cleaning foot (10) locks in place in a vertical position.

2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible.

3. Move the On / Off switch (7) to the I position. The On / Off switch (7) lights up when the device is switched on. The device reaches operating temperature after around 20 – 30 seconds and steam emerges from the cleaning foot (10).

4. Hold the device by the handle (1) and tilt it slightly towards the floor to release the locking of the cleaning foot (10).
5. Slide the cleaning foot (10) slowly back and forth over the floor. The floor is cleaned as you do this.
6. If during use no steam or only a small amount of steam is generated, check whether there is sufficient water in the water reservoir (9) and top it up again if necessary (see "Filling the Water Reservoir").
7. When you finish cleaning the floor, move the On/Off switch (7) to position 0 and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket.
8. Allow the device to cool down completely.

Cleaning, Care and Storage

Care

To ensure that the steam cleaner can clean with full force, the water reservoir (9) should be descaled at regular intervals (after approx. 25 - 50 uses).

1. Pour a mixture of one part vinegar and two parts water into the water reservoir (9).
2. Position the device in such a way that the steam that is emitted does not hit any delicate floors or other objects.
3. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible.
4. Move the On / Off switch (7) to position I to switch on the device.
5. Allow the vinegar/water mixture to run through once completely until the water reservoir (9) is empty.
6. Move the On/Off switch (7) to position 0 to switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket.
7. Rinse the water reservoir (9) with fresh water to remove vinegar residues and odours.

Troubleshooting

If the device does not work properly, first check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself.

Do not attempt to repair a defective electrical device yourself!

The device does not work. No steam is emerging.

• Is the mains plug inserted in the socket correctly?
• Is the socket defective? Try another socket.
• Check the fuse of the mains connection.
  • Is the device switched on? Move the On / Off switch (7) to the I position.
• The device is not yet ready to operate. The device needs to heat up for around 20 – 30 seconds before the steam can emerge.
