Use the point nozzle to clean the grease from the filters. Clean
the absorber from the outside depending on the access
opportunities. For this purpose you can use the triangular
brush with thermofiber cloth stretched on it.
Use the point nozzle with the attachment-brush. For cleaning
wooden furniture choose less steam than for plastic or metal
furniture.
For cleaning sensitive garden furniture (e.g. wood) use only
the horsehair brush.
Use the point nozzle and small round copper brush (for
sensitive surfaces) or of stainless steel. For deposits of limestone
help yourself with a mild pressure of the brush. Deposited with
years limestone cannot be removed immediately. Clean the
armature regularly.

Shower cabin
If there are significant
limestone deposits on glass
doors we recommend
using some vinegar
for dissolution of the
limestone. Let it work for
approximately
30 minutes.

there are numerous
possibilities for use.

Wooden furniture
Wooden furniture and
wooden ceilings are very
sensitive. Please clean very
carefully.
Ceramic hot plates /
ovens
Fast and effective
cleaning of burned fats
on the ceramic plates.
For joints and chutes use the point nozzle with round brush with
maximum amount of steam. Clean the rubber seals with less
steam.
For stubborn stains on ceramic plates or in the oven (not of
stainless steel) use large round brush with stainless steel wool.
Then use the point nozzle and scrub with thermofiber.
Treat the wooden kitchen with the point nozzle with less
steam from distance of about 15 cm (5 in). For especially
sensitive material wipe with a thermofiber cloth soaked with
steam. The cleaning is not carried out very quickly, but it is
very gentle. For sealed wooden ceilings use universal brush
and thermofiber cloth.

Release steam with the point nozzle on a thermofiber towel
and rub with it the stove plate. For stubborn stains, you can
use the stainless steel sponge and the big round plastic brush.
Place the thermofiber on the universal brush and clean with
a small amount of steam. Be careful not much moisture to be
soaked in the cork. Slide evenly and quickly on the surface,
and do not hold at one place. In case of spots better do it a
few times.

Small amount of steam
Cleaning with steam kills
mites. This is another
plus for people allergic to
dust mites.
Linoleum
Ideal material for cleaning
with steam.
Mattresses
The mattresses can be
cleaned very well with
steam. Here they benefit
from the natural freshness
of steam cleaning. As
a result of the outflow
of fluids mattresses start
smelling unpleasantly and
do not produce sensation
of freshness.
Treat the surfaces with a small amount of steam at 10-15 cm./
(3-5 in) distance. Then wipe it with the thermofiber. You will get
shiny lacquered surfaces without lines.
Treat the front and the back of the mattress with the universal
brush. Select a small amount of steam. In case of spots you
can briefly choose an average amount of steam. Replace
the strained thermofiber before the absorbed moisture to
be soaked by the mattress. After cleaning ensure enough
ventilation in the room to help the mattress get dry.
In case of heavy soiled areas select medium amount of
steam. Along with normal dirt here it is also valid that the less
amount of steam, the faster dries the cleaned surface.

more often.
This way you remove the
mites and pet hair.
Carpets
You can clean and
maintain carpets and
moquettes without causing
any damage. There are
materials such as synthetic
that can be cleaned
smoothly.
Other materials are more
or less sensitive.
Depending on the size of the surface choose the point nozzle
or the triangular brush (then polish with the thermofiber) or the
triangular brush with thermofiber strained on it.
Suction the dust from the entire area before steam cleaning.
Check the resistance of colors and the adhesion by doing a
test cleaning on small hidden place. After assessing the result
and making sure that it is good, continue with the cleaning
process. First treat the stains with a point nozzle with steam
under obtuse angle (without touching the tip of the nozzle
to the carpet) and mop up the separate spots with a towel.
Then clean with a small amount of steam and with the
universal brush.

Plastic
Plastics can be found in
the whole household.
Worktops, PVC flooring,

lampshades and more.
For cleaning parquet flooring use the universal brush with
stretched thermofiber on it. Clean with a small or medium
amount of steam. Slide evenly on the surface.
Replace the thermofiber on time before the moisture soak
into the floor.
Question: Does the steam really cause no damage to the
flooring?
Answer: When used properly - Yes!
EV 3000i is characterized with extremely dry steam. Only the
wet steam could carry the temperature too fast and so it
would damage the surface.
(In a sauna we can stand at 90 °C (194 °F), as normal bathing
at the same temperature would be impossible).
Therefore you use much less moisture than with wet wiping.
Your parquet flooring shines and you can immediately
re-tread on it.
For lower soiled areas clean with a little amount of steam, so
that the surface can dry faster. For heavily soiled areas you
can easily clean with medium amount of steam. Plastic is very
durable. You can choose from the accessories depending on
the surface size.

Special green plants
and dry plants.
Clean smooth radiators with the triangular brush with
thermofiber strained on it. Then take down the upper grid and
clean the radiator with steam from above.
Ribbed radiators and their intermediate spaces are cleaned
with the point nozzle. The dust moistens and falls down.
Place a towel under the plant to absorb dust and moisture.
Treat the plant with average steam with point nozzle from a
distance.
For cleaning profiles use the point nozzle with or without a
brush attachment. Dissolve the dirt with a little steam and the
inaccessible places and then rub with thermofiber.
