Safety devices serve for the protection of
the user and must not be put out of opera-
tion or bypassed with respect to their func-
tion.
–The handle is equipped with a safety
catch on the steam switch, which pre-
vents accidental steam release.
–In the event that the steam suction hose
is shortly unattended during operation, it
is recommended to activate the safety
device (pull out safety catch). In order to
trigger the steam release again, deacti-
vate safety device (push safety catch in).
–Pleasereadthecleaninginstructions of
the manufacturer before treating leath-
er,specialfabricsandwoodensurfaces
and always do a trial on a sample or
some hidden part. Let the steam-treat-
ed surface dry and then check whether
there are any changes to the colour or
form on account as reaction to the
steam.
–Werecommendthatyoubeverycareful
while cleaning wooden surfaces (furni-
ture, doors, etc.) because long expo-
sure to steam can damage the wax
coating, the finish or the surface col-
ours. Hence we recommend that you
usesteamonlyforshortintervalsorfirst
clean the surface with a cloth that has
been steam-moistened.
–For highly sensitive surfaces (for e.g.
synthetic materials, painted surfaces,
etc.) we recommend that you use the
steam function at the minimum perfor-
mance level.
–Cleaning of stainless steel: Avoid the
use of abrasive brushes. Use hand noz-
zle with rubber lip or detail nozzle with-
out a round brush.
Always test the compatibility of the fabrics
on a hidden spot prior to treating them with
the appliance: Steam first, then allow to dry
before checking for colour changes or de-
formation.
When cleaning painted or plastic-coated
surfaces, as found on kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquet, linoleum;
wax, furniture polish, plastic surfaces or
paint can come loose or stains can be cre-
ated.Whencleaningthesesurfaces,briefly
steam a cloth and wipe the surfaces with it.

their maximum values immediately when
they are emitted from the nozzle.
