• To remove the cloth, press down on the retai-
ning clips (G2) and pull it out.
• Turn the floor cloth over or replace it regular-
ly. This will enable you to wipe up more dirt.
• Work on heavily soiled areas at a slower
speed so that the steam has more time to act
on the dirt.
• If there are traces of detergent or polish on
the surface that you are cleaning (e.g. wax,
liquid polish, etc.), this could result in streaks.
As a rule these streaks disappear after the
steam cleaner has been used several times.
Typical applications:
– all washable wall and floor coverings, e.g.
stone floors, tiles and PVC floors.
4.4 Hand nozzle
The hand nozzle can be used
with the terry-towelling slip-on
to clean the following.
Typical applications:
– smaller, washable areas,
such as kitchen surfaces
made from plastic, tiled
walls
– windows, mirrors
– furniture fabrics
– vehicle interiors, windscreens
– bath-tubs
4.5 Window nozzle
The window nozzle is available
as a special accessory (see
page 9 for order number).
• Before you clean a glass
surface with the window
nozzle for the first time, go
over it with the hand nozzle
(F1) and terry-towelling slip-on (F2) to remo-
ve any traces of grease.
• Apply steam evenly to the glass surface from
a distance of approx. 10 in. When you have
done this, push the locking mechanism on the
steam gun towards the rear (child lock) (C4)
so that the steam switch (C3) cannot be pres-
sed inadvertently. Squeegee the glass sur-
face in straight lines from top to bottom. Wipe
the rubber lip and the bottom edge of the win-
dow dry after each pass.
Typical applications:
– windows
– mirrors
– other glass surfaces
4.6 Wallpaper remover
The wallpaper remover
is available as a special
accessory (see page 9
for order number).
• Place the entire face
of the wallpaper re-
mover along the
edge of a sheet of
wallpaper. Switch on the steam supply (C3)
and allow the steam to penetrate the wallpa-
per until it is soaked through (approx. 10 se-
conds).
• Move the wallpaper remover to the next sec-
tion to be removed, keeping the steam switch
(C3) pressed. Use a putty knife to lift the loo-
sened wallpaper and pull it off the wall. Move
the wallpaper across the wall a section at a
time and pull the paper off in strips.
• The steam may not be able to readily pene-
trate woodchip wallpaper that has been
painted over several times. In this case we
recommend that you go over the wallpaper
with a spiked roller before steam is applied.
4.7 Steam Rotary Nozzle
The Steam Rotary Nozzle is available
as a special accessory (see page 9
for order number).
• The rotary nozzle can be attached
directly or with the extension tubes
(12) to the steam handgun (1), as
required.
• Use the rotary nozzle for loosening stubborn
dirt over large areas.
