WARNING
Do not screw the steam boiler cap on the
appliance during the descaling. Do not use
the steam cleaner as long as there is des-
caling agent in the boiler.
Î
Empty the descaling solution after 8
hours. A small amount of the solution
will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you
should rinse the boiler two to three
times with cold water to remove any
residues of the descaler.

The steam cleaner is now ready for use
again.
Allow the accessory parts to dry completely
before storing them.
Î
Do not place the floor nozzle (H1), the
manual nozzle (E1), and the round
brush (D2) onto the bristles during the
cooling and drying process to avoid a
deformation of the bristles.
Note: The floorcloth and the terry cloth cov-
er have been pre-washed and can be used
immediately for working with the steam
cleaner.
Î
You can wash dirty floorcloths and terry
cloth covers in the washing machine at
60°C. Do not use a liquid softener as
this would affect the ability of the cloths
to pick up dirt. You may tumble dry the
cloths.
