This Manual contains the information you need for proper use, correct
operation, appropriate cleaning, care and maintenance of the appliance.
It is essential that you are familiar with and follow the instructions in the
Manual to ensure risk-free use, as well as your own safety during opera-
tion, cleaning, care and maintenance. This User Manual cannot foresee
every conceivable use of the appliance.
If you would like more information or if specific problems arise that are

bean GmbH directly to request the necessary information.
1. Description of equipment
The beam multi-function system impresses due to its ease of use, in-
genious technology and enormous versatility. It sets new standards in
terms of hygiene and cleaning, makes the job much easier and saves
time, drastically reduces the use of harmful cleaning agents that are
bad for the environment, and ensures perfect cleanliness and a healthy
feel-good ambience.
2. Purpose of use
The beam multi-function system can be used for thorough cleaning of
surfaces and objects and to clear unpleasant odours from the air indoors.
3. Safety
• Please follow precisely for your own safety and for the safety of others!
3.1 Warnings
• The appliance may only be operated by people who are familiar with
its use. Remember that the steam jet may cause damage if used incor-
rectly.
• The appliance must not be used by children. Children do not under-
stand the risks that may arise when dealing with electrical equipment
and, therefore, children must never be left unattended with such equip-
ment.
• Never use a faulty appliance or an appliance with a damaged power
cable.
• Do not put cleaning agents, perfume or other chemical substances
into the tank.
• Warning! Do not suction ammable or explosive substances or hot
ash!
• Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Never spray the
appliance with water.
• Never touch the steam jet. Risk of burning!
• Never aim the steam jet at people or animals. Nor at electrical sockets,
connections or equipment. Risk of burning!
• Do not use the appliance if other people are present in the working
area.
• Refrain from any unsafe working methods.
• Do not use the steam jet for direct cleaning of electronic equipment
(e.g. computers, televisions, telephones etc.).
• Before cleaning ovens, fridges etc. always disconnect the power rst
to ensure these are switched off. You must follow the manufacturers‘
specific instructions.
• Warning! The appliance may not be used to clean items that contain
asbestos or other harmful substances.
•Caution! In the following instances steam may not be used or may only
be used with the greatest care: on objects made from leather, Alcanta-
ra, velour or other sensitive materials, on waxed or painted surfaces,
polished wood surfaces and for direct contact with bonding agents or
silicone. Please always follow the manufacturer‘s instructions. For sen-
sitive materials carry out a test first on a sample or on an inconspicuous,
concealed area. Always start on the lowest setting. Pre-heat windows or
other glass surfaces with a low steam setting from a distance of approx.
30 cm and clean in combination with suction.
3.2 Precautionary measures
• Operation of the appliance is subject to national regulations.
• Always ensure the appliance is in proper working order before starting
up.
• Perform regular checks on the power cable, plug and steam suction
hose for damage or signs of wear.
• Do not start the appliance if the steam suction hose or power cable
are damaged.
• Place the appliance on a stable and level surface. Never place it on
warm or hot surfaces. Choose somewhere that is not accessible to child-
ren or pets.
• Do not position the appliance in direct proximity to heat sources (res,
heaters or other heat-emitting objects).
• Position the appliance somewhere with good air circulation to prevent
overheating.
• Never expose the appliance to the weather (rain, snow, frost etc.).
• Never touch the appliance, plug or electrical cables with wet hands
or feet.
• Do not bend, squeeze or run over the steam suction hose.
• Never pull on the power cable or on the appliance itself when discon-
necting the mains plug.
• Protect the power cable from heat sources, steam and oil, and from
damage by avoiding pulling, squeezing or running over the cable.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the
mains.
• To prevent unauthorised use of the appliance, ensure all switches are
off and the power is disconnected during breaks.
• Always disconnect from the mains before cleaning and maintenance
work.
• Only perform maintenance work that is described in the User Manual.
Only use original spare parts and accessories.
• Do not undertake any technical modications on the appliance.
• Never repair or open the appliance yourself. Repairs may only be per-
formed by authorised personnel.
• Take the appropriate precautions when using acidic descaling agents.
Protect sensitive surfaces, especially natural stone and wood, from
spray and droplets.
• Some drops of condensation may form at the start of steam cleaning
– wipe these up with a cloth.
Tipp:
To minimise the occurrence of condensation (caused when the steam
hose and attachments are not at operating temperature) it is recommen-
ded that you allow the steam to ow for a few seconds on the maximum
setting before starting the cleaning work. This ensures the steam hose
and attachments heat up more quickly.

Cleaning and Care
Notes on the HEPA filter
Your beam multi-function system is equipped with a HEPA
filter system. The HEPA filter traps microscopic particles.
The multi-function system achieves a high filter effect in
combination with the hydro power filter. To maintain this
the HEPA filter must be regularly cleaned and replaced as
necessary.
Removing the HEPA filter
Push the two fixing clips into the centre and open the air
outlet grille and remove with the HEPA filter.
Checking and cleaning the HEPA filter
Impurities can be removed by brushing and tapping care-
fully. Do not use cleaning agents or water to clean the lter.
The HEPA filter must be replaced if it has mould, spores or
dark spots. If the HEPA filter does get wet it must be com-
pletely dry before use.
HEPA filter order no. 8090098
Notes on the mesh filter
Inserting the mesh filter
Lightly turn and press the filter to position it on the connec-
tor in the filter bowl.
Cleaning the mesh filter
Remove the filter from the connector by turning and pulling
it at the same time. Remove any loose dirt. Tap the mesh
filter, rinse well under running water, and clean with the
spot-jet nozzle if required.
Cleaning, care and maintenance
It is essential to clean the appliance and the accessory parts
after use to maintain performance and function and to avoid
scaling in the hose, in the extension pipes and in the filter
bowl, which is not only unhygienic but can also lead to un-
pleasant odours.
Cleaning and care
Only wash the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use any
aggressive cleaning agents!
Maintenance
Spray the connectors of the extension pipes and the safety
handle as needed with a suitable lubricant. Replace damaged
washers.
Warning!
You must never open or dismantle the appliance. Any unau-
thorised access could be dangerous and void the warranty.
Always make sure the power cable and the plug are not da-
maged or worn. Please contact the beam Service department
for a replacement.
Regular service
Regular inspections at the beam Service Centre extend ser-
vice life and reliability.
Keep the original packaging as transport protection.

Look foward to it.

DatenblattHot Water Module Descaling
Use of the hot water module causes limescale to form
over time depending on the hardness of the water used.
To prevent a fault caused by limescale in the steam hose
we recommend that you descale the steam hose as de-
scribed below after the hot water module has been filled
approx. 10 times.
Troubleshooting
No steam or hot water is produced when the steam lever
is pressed.
Check whether the hose nozzle in the steam suction hose
connector is clogged with limescale.
If it is, proceed as follows:
Descaling “steam hose”
Fill the hot water module with approx. 200 ml water and
approx. 50 ml vinegar. Insert the hot water module into
the appliance and turn on the appliance as described in
the “Starting Up” video (steam in combination with hot
water module).
Warning! Press the steam lever until the full contents of
the hot water module have ushed out. Steam into a con-
tainer big enough to hold all the descaling agent.
Rinse out the hot water module with clean water to remo-
ve any residue.
Please call Customer Service if this does not resolve the
problem.
Warning! Descalers can be harmful.
Note: Vinegar and descalers can damage contact sur-
faces. Wipe up drops immediately.
