HOW TO USE THE ACCESSORIES
IMPORTANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning fl oor surfaces
It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the fl oor prior to using
the steam cleaner. This way, the fl oor is already cleared of dirt/
loose particles prior to the wet cleaning.
Cleaning textiles and upholstery
Prior to treatment with the steam cleaner, always check the
reaction of the textiles in an inconspicuous location: Steam at
fi rst, then let dry and then check for colour or shape changes.
Cleaning of Coated or Lacquered Surfaces
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated surfaces, as found on
kitchen and living room furniture, doors, parquet; wax, furni-
ture polish, plastic surfaces or paint can come loose or stains
can be created. When cleaning these surfaces, briefl y steam
a cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.
Caution
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as the edge band
may loosen. Do not use the steam cleaner on unsealed wood-
en or parquet fl oors.
Caution
Do not direct steam onto the sealed locations
of the window frame to prevent damage.
Steam nozzle
Use the steam nozzle without accessories,
– to remove odours and wrinkles from hanging clothes by
steaming them at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.
– to remove dust from plants. Here, keep a distance of 20-
40 cm.
– for moist dusting, by briefl y steaming the cloth and wiping
the furniture with it.
Detail nozzle
The closer this nozzle is to the contaminated area, the higher
the cleaning effect, as the temperature and the steam are
highest at the nozzle output. Especially suited for cleaning
diffi cult access locations, joints, fi ttings, drains, sinks, toilets,
blinds and heaters. Heavy limescale can be drenched in vin-
egar prior to steam-cleaning. Let the vinegar penetrate for
about 5 minutes.
Round brush
Attached brushes can therefore be used to remove heavy
soiling.
Caution
Not suited for the cleaning of sensitive surfaces.
SPA PROCEDURES NOZZLE (steam mask)
Steam mask benefi cially infl uences the facial skin. Steam
penetrates deep into the pores, expands them, disinfects and
facilitates the effective removal of deep impurities and toxins,
while increasing blood circulation. Epidermal cells are acti-
vated, metabolism speeds up and your skin becomes more
smooth and beautiful. This procedure optimally prepares the
skin for further treatment, for example, for deep cleaning, wet-
ting, for a variety of masks, etc.
WARNING!
1. Before the procedure, wash-up your face thoroughly and
remove cosmetics.
2. To avoid face burns, put a small cotton handkerchief into
the nozzle.
3. To proceed in this mode, make sure that the liquid level in
the device does not exceed 250 ml.
4. Gradually advance your face closer to the nozzle, but not
closer than 30 cm from the steam vents.
5. During the session, close your eyes and protect heat-sen-
sitive skin areas.
6. See to that the steamed face procedure doesn't last for
more than 10 minutes.
7. Do not replace any accesories during the procedure, be-
cause hot liquid can cause burns.
8. If the procedure causes discomfort or pain, turn the device
off immediately and consult a doctor.
