2.5 Re: Appropriate Use

Only use the steam cleaner to clean normally dirty smooth surfaces that can withstand the
high temperature, pressure and moisture of hot steam. Used with due care and skill, the steam
cleaner can also be used to refresh carpets, drapes, clothing, etc.
Any other use is considered inappropriate and is prohibited. It is especially forbidden:
To use the appliance near explosive or easily flammable substances or on pressurized con-
tainers. There is a risk of fire or explosion or of the containers bursting.
To fill the water tank with liquids other than cold water (e. g. cleaning agents, etc.).
Additives can be dangerous to your health or destroy the appliance.
To operate it with the water tank empty.
To modify or repair the appliance on your own.
To use accessories not supplied by us.
To clean:
- Persons, animals or plants, including clothing that is still being worn.
- Surfaces that are dirtied by substances hazardous to health. The hot steam can dissolve
these substances.
- Leather, furniture, uncoated, lacquered, oiled or waxed wood or parquet flooring, or surfac-
es made of soft plastic material. These might be damaged.
- Textiles made from acrylic fibre, Dralon, velvet or linen. These materials could be dam-
aged by the temperature of the steam.
