Glass cleaner
ATTENTION
Glass breakages and damaged surfaces
Steam can damage sealed points of the window frame
and, at low outside temperatures, lead to tension on the
surface of window panes and hence to glass breakages.
Do not direct the steam at sealed points on the window
frame.
At low outside temperatures, heat up the window panes
by gently steaming the full surface of the glass.
Clean the window area with a manual nozzle and
cover. To remove the water, use a squeegee or wipe
the surfaces dry.
How to use the Accessories
Steam gun
The steam gun can be used for the following applica-
tions without accessories:
For removing slight creases from the hanging cloth-
ing items: Steam the clothing item from a distance of
10-20 cm.
For wiping damp dust: Steam a cloth briefly and use
it to wipe over the furniture.
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro-
vide information on hardness of tap water.
ATTENTION

Use 2 dosing units of the descaler for 1.0 l of water.
5. Apply descaler solution to the descaler according to
the details.
6. Fill the descaler solution into the steam boiler. Do
not seal the steam boiler.
7. Allow the descaler solution to take effect for
approx. 8 hours.
8. Drain descaler solution completely out of the steam
boiler.

Spotlight nozzle
The spotlight nozzle is suitable for cleaning areas, joins,
fittings, drains, sinks, WCs, blinds or radiators that are
difficult to access. The closer the spotlight nozzle is to
the soiled area, the greater the cleaning efficiency will
be as the temperature and steam volume are at their
highest at the nozzle opening. Larger lime deposits can
be treated before steam cleaning with a suitable deter-
gent. Allow the detergent to soak in for
approx. 5 minutes and then steam it off.
1. Slide the spotlight nozzle onto the steam gun.

Round brush (small)
The small round brush is used for cleaning stubborn dirt.
Stubborn dirt can be removed more easily by brushing.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
The brush may scratch sensitive surfaces.
It is not suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
1. Fit the round brush to the spotlight nozzle.

Manual nozzle
The manual nozzle is used for cleaning small areas that
can be washed down, shower cubicles and mirrors.

Care and service
Descaling the steam boiler
Note
Descaling the steam boiler is not required if commer-
cially available distilled water is used.
Note
Since the lime becomes caked on the appliance, we
recommend descaling the appliance as specified in the
table (BF=boiler fillings) based on the number of times
the steam boiler is filled.
