Important application instructions

Cleaning the floor areas
We recommend sweeping the floor or vacuum cleaning
it before using the appliance. In this way the floor will be
cleared of dirt and loose particles before the wet clean-
ing.
Cleaning coated or painted surfaces
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
Steam can loosen wax, furniture polish, plastic coatings
or paint and edge band from edges.
Do not direct the steam at glued laminated edges as the
edge band may loosen.
Do not use the device for cleaning unsealed wood or
parquet floors.
Do not use the device for cleaning painted or plastic
coated surfaces such as kitchen or living room furniture,
doors or parquet.

How to use the Accessories

Floor nozzle
The floor nozzle is suitable for cleaning washable floor
coverings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC floors, and al-
so sealed wooden floors such as parquet and laminate.
ATTENTION
Damage due to steam effects
Heat and the effects of steam can lead to damage.
Check the heat resistance and steam effect on an in-
conspicuous area using a minimal steam volume prior
to use.
Steam clean sealed wooden floors using the correct,
preset steam level and do not remain in the same posi-
tion on the floor for too long
Note
Detergent residue or care emulsions on the surface to
be cleaned can lead to streaks during steam cleaning,
which will disappear however once these have been
used several times.

CAUTION
Beware of burns to your feet
The floor nozzle/floor cleaning cloth heats up during
steaming.
Hot water may drip out when pulling off the floor cloth.
Only operate or remove the floor nozzle/floor cleaning
cloth with suitable footwear.
1. Fasten the floor cleaning cloth to the floor nozzle.
a Place the floor cleaning cloth with the hook and
loop fastener strips pointing upwards on the floor.
b Place the floor nozzle onto the floor cleaning
cloth, applying slight pressure.
Illustration D
The floor cleaning cloth will stick to the floor nozzle
of its own accord due to the hook and loop fastener.
The microfibre floor cloth is suitable for cleaning stone
floors and PVC floors, and also sealed wooden floors
such as parquet and laminate. The microfibre floor cloth
is also suitable for freshening carpets when used in con-
junction with the carpet glider.
Abrasive floor cloth
The abrasive floor cloth is suitable for cleaning insensi-
tive surfaces such as tiles or stone.
ATTENTION
Damage to floor coverings
The abrasive floor cloth can damage sensitive floor cov-
erings and surfaces.
Do not use the abrasive floor cloth for cleaning wooden
surfaces.
Do not use the abrasive cloth with the carpet glider.
Removing the floor cleaning cloth
1. Place one foot on the bottom corner of the floor
cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.
Illustration D
Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fas-
tener strip is very strong and cannot be removed
from the floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning
cloth has been used several times and washed, it is
easier to remove from the floor nozzle and it has
reached the optimum adhesion.
Removing the floor nozzle from the basic device
ATTENTION
Material damage due to an unstable device
Removing the floor nozzle makes the device unstable

ering.
Do not remove the floor nozzle from the basic device af-
ter installation.
