WARNING:
Check the appliance and power cable
before each use. A damaged appliance
must never be used.
ATTENTION:
Before starting to clean, check whether the
corresponding floor surface is suitable for
steam cleaning. If you are not sure, first
clean an inconspicuous part of the floor.
Always observe the cleaning instructions for
the individual flooring. They could become
damaged. Glass surfaces can shatter as a
result of heat shock. Warm up glass sur-
faces first by spraying steam from a dis-
tance of approx. 25 cm.
We assume no liability for damage resulting
from improper use of hot steam.
NOTE:
The steam cleaner has an overheating pro-
tection device. It will switch off automatically
if overheated (e. g. due to an empty water
tank). If this happens, then turn off the
steam cleaner and remove the plug.
Remove the cause of overheating. Wait
approx. 45 minutes. Once the steam
cleaner has cooled down you can switch it
on again.
Hot steam makes it easier to clean smooth
surfaces. The steam cleaner works entirely
without chemical solvents.
Your steam cleaner is not suitable for
deep cleaning carpets or for removing stub-
born stains.
NOTE:
To remove stubborn stains, we recommend
working on the stain beforehand with a
chemical cleaner, as long as the particular
flooring permits this.
3.1 Steam cleaning
ATTENTION:
Before connecting the plug to the power
supply, make sure that the electrical voltage
stated on the type plate matches the voltage
of your plug socket.. Only use plug sockets
with a grounding contact.
1. Before starting up the appliance, check
that the water tank is full.
2. Insert the plug into the plug socket. The red
power indicator light (Fig. 1/8) lights up.
3. Wait approx. 30 s until the blue steam
ready light (Fig. 1/9) is illuminated (Fig. 6).
4. Your Steam & Swing is now ready to use.
Switch the steam cleaner (Fig. 1/7) on.
On smooth floors:
Turn off the steam switch at the latest when
a film of moisture has appeared on the floor.
Steam cleaning with the steam switch off
ensures that drying is quicker and reduces the
risk of slipping.
On carpets:
Leave the steam switch on during the en-
tire cleaning process.
3.2 Storage
1. Switch off the steam cleaner (Fig. 1/7) and
pull the power cable out of the plug socket.
2. Wind up the power cable. This will help
avoid accidents.
3. Wait until the micro-fibre cleaning cloth
and the surrounding appliance parts have
cooled down.
4. Remove the micro-fibre cleaning cloth.
Clean it ZChapter 4.2, "Cleaning housing
and cloths".
ATTENTION:
Never position the appliance directly against
heat sources (e.g. heating, oven). Avoid direct
sunlight. Heat can damage the appliance.
If you want to store the appliance for a
longer period of time, empty the water tank
and clean it completely. Only stow away the
appliance if it is completely dry.
Store the appliance in a cool, dry room, in-
accessible to children.
