5.1 Before connecting the appliance

5 Use
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Check appliance and
power cord before each use. A damaged
appliance must never be used.
ATTENTION:
Before connecting the appliance to the
power supply, make sure that the voltage
stated on the type plate matches the volt-
age of your plug socket. Only use sockets
with a ground/safety contact.
ATTENTION:
Before starting cleaning, check whether the
particular surface to be cleaned is suitable
for steam cleaning. Always follow the clean-
ing recommendations of the material manu-
facturers. The steam cleaner is definitely
not suitable for use on uncoated wood, soft
plastics and polished furniture. Cold glass
surfaces can shatter as a result of heat
shock. Do not work on window panes on
cold days!
ATTENTION:
Operate the device only with the water tank
filled. Although the appliance is fitted with
overheating protection, running it without
water would shorten its service life.
NOTE:
The steam cleaner has overheating protec-
tion. It will switch off automatically if over-
heated (e.g. due to an empty water tank). If
this happens, pull the mains plug and refill
the water tank ZChapter 4, "Filling the
water tank". Wait for about 45 minutes.
Once the steam cleaner has cooled down
you can switch it on again.
NOTE:
Have one of the provided microfibre cloths
(Fig. 1/9, optional) on hand for wiping.
Alternatively you can also use a cotton
household cloth for this purpose. This will
absorb moisture if a lot of steam has been
used. It will also pick up the softened dirt.
NOTE:
Provide adequate ventilation during steam
cleaning. Otherwise, the increased humidity
after cleaning could, in the worst case,
cause the formation of mould. Preferably
operate the steam cleaner on warm days
when the air can absorb more moisture
without condensation.
