The triangular brush is usually used to clean small, deli-
cate and irregular surfaces. The steam is distributed di-
rectly on the bristles. (Fig. 10) It can also be used with the
triangular pad and a thermofiber cloth.
Steam Nozzle
Attach the steam nozzle directly on the steam hose or
on the extension pipes.
Attention: The steam coming from the nozzle is
very hot. To clean heat-sensitive materials, hold
the steam nozzle at a minimum distance of 10-15
cm from the object.

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 nylon brush. For cleaning wood-
en furniture choose less steam than for plastic or metal furni-
ture.
Use the point nozzle and the round copper brush for sensitive
or stainless steel surfaces. For deposits of limestone apply a
mild pressure with the brush. Deposited with years limestone
cannot be removed immediately. Clean the armature
regularly.

coatings can be cleaned
with steam. Sealed cork
oors can be cleaned
perfectly with steam.
Clean the cages with the point nozzle and attached round
nylon 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.

Varnished surfaces
Varnished surfaces can be
cleaned very well.
Small amount of steam
Clean the surface quickly.
Do not hold the steam jet
at one point. Use only
small amount of steam.
Small, medium

Repeat the cleaning
process to remove the
residual quantities of
detergents.
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 outow
of uids 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 briey choose a medium 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 to dry.
In case of heavy soiled areas select medium amount of
steam. Along with normal dirt here it is also important to
know that the smaller amount of steam makes the surfaces
dry faster.

mites or establishments
where pets are allowed.
The carpet should be
cleaned 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.
Vacuum 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
on the carpet) and mop up the separate spots with a towel.
Then clean with a small amount of steam and with the
universal brush.

Parquet and oor
laminate
For parquet oors different
types of wood is used, such
as beech, oak, maple, ash,

Small, medium
amount of steam
Small, medium, large
amount of steam
With this hygienic
procedure you can clean
most of the working
surfaces in the kitchen.
Plastic
Plastics can be found in
the whole household.
Worktops, PVC ooring,
kitchen cupboards,
lampshades and more.
For cleaning parquet ooring 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 oor.
Question: Does the steam really cause no damage to the
ooring?
Answer: When used properly - Yes, it does not cause any
damage to the ooring!
EV IRIS 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 with water would be impossible).
Therefore you use much less moisture than with wet wiping.
Your parquet ooring shines and you can immediately
go back over 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.

much time.
Plants
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
nylon brush attached. Dissolve the dirt with a little steam and
the inaccessible places and then rub with the thermofiber.

sensitive. Please clean very
carefully. 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.
