We hope you enjoy your new Medicleantec!
Products for life
We sometimes think that we own nature – the truth is
that we are only a part of it. And the way we treat na-
ture will directly affect our children! We at Medicleantec
believe that waste should be prevented whenever pos-
sible. And with this cleaning system we have found a
solution that is ecologically practical and makes good
economic sense. Because products for life are only
purchased once and disposed of once.
The Medicleantec Micro Cleaner is not available in the
conventional retail or wholesale markets. It offers out-
standing quality standards as well as extraordinary gu-
arantees – and therefore it just doesn’t compare to any
other commercially available product.
Commonly available steam cleaners generally work at
low pressure (approx. 3 to 4 bar) and, therefore, at low
temperatures. This creates a very wet steam with low
cleaning capacity which can damage wood surfaces,
for example. This is the reason why many such ap-
pliances often end up in the basement and are only
rarely used.
Many manufacturers therefore offer steam vacuum
cleaners that suction excessive moisture directly du-
ring the cleaning process. This results in the applian-
ces being larger and their hoses being thicker and hea-
vier. Numerous market analyses show that household
appliances will only be used on a regular basis if they
are light, small and convenient. Furthermore, these
appliances will only function when the steam is not too
hot and/or wet – which is contrary to one of the basic
rules of effective steam cleaning: because less heat
means less cleaning capacity. The terms micro steam,
micro steam or heat cleaning are used in describing
appliances that operate with high temperatures and
pressures (beginning at approx. 160° C and approx.
6 bar pressure).
Larger heating elements and comprehensive safety
features are generally necessary in order to generate
more heat and pressure. The appliances are therefore
larger and more cumbersome. Thanks to the extra-
ordinarily powerful AKU-THERM-COMPACT heating
system used in the Medicleantec, it is possible to ge-
nerate a very high working pressure of up to 8 bar
even in relatively small boilers. The result is an enor-
mously powerful appliance which is practical in size
and suitable for every household.
The major advantage of cleaning with micro
steam is that fabrics and other surfaces do not
become wet but only slightly damp. The high
temperatures and speed at which the steam is
discharged removes dirt and dust from its carri-
ers. The high temperature of the steam therefore
has a “releasing” effect. The hot steam particles
penetrate the materials, liquefy the dirt and then
draw it out from the carrier. The speed at which
the steam is discharged is also a crucial factor
here: higher the steam pressure, higher is the
speed at which it is discharged and therefore the
force of the steam.

Safety
regulations
•
The manufacturer is not liable for damages arising
from improper or incorrect use.
•
Do not direct the steam/hot water jet towards people
or animals. Do not touch the jet directly – risk of se-
vere burns!
•
The Medicleantec is equipped with a pressure gauge
which allows you to regulate the pressure and main-
tain a preset level (see “rated pressure” given on the
technical label of the appliance). If steam is leaking
from the lower part of the appliance, the appliance
may not be functioning properly and the safety valve
is limiting the pressure within the boiler. In this case
we strongly recommend that you stop using the ap
pliance, immediately disconnect the power supply
and contact the customer service department.
•
Do not use the appliance if the power cord or other
major components such as safety devices, high-
pressure hoses or the handle/pistol grip are dama-
ged.
•
The Medicleantec is equipped with a “solids di-
scharge” warning system. If “CALC” appears on
the display, it is time to clean the boiler (see “Main-
tenance”). Remove the discharge cover only if the
appliance has been turned off for a minimum of 5
hours (with the power cord disconnected).
•
This appliance is not intended to be used by child-
ren or people with restricted physical, sensory or
mental abilities or without sufficient experience and/
or knowledge unless they are supervised by a per-
son responsible for their safety or have received ins-
truction from this person as to how Medicleantec is
used. Children should be supervised to ensure they
are not playing with the appliance.
•
High-pressure hoses, accessories and connections
are necessary to safely operate the appliance. Only
use those hoses, accessories and connections re-
commended by the manufacturer.
•
CAUTION: Before using brushes, always check
them to avoid damaging any surfaces. The steam
generated by the steam generator is very hot. It
is therefore always necessary to test it on a small
surface area. Wooden surfaces and silicone joints
should only be treated with a minimum amount of
steam and then immediately dried using a micro-
fibre cloth.
•
When using an extension cord, the plug and socket
must be completely waterproof. Unsuitable extensi-
on cords can be hazardous.
•
Never leave the optional iron unattended if it is con-
nected to the power supply. Any alteration to the ap-
pliance releases the manufacturer from all liabilities.
•
The data for hand-arm vibration with respect to this
appliance is less than 2.5 m/s2and is therefore not
given here.

Steam generator maintenance
Removal of calcium deposits in the boiler
FUNCTIONS MAINTENANCE
Keypad functions
CAUTION: WE RECOMMEND CLEANING THE BOI-
LER ONLY AFTER THE APPLIANCE HAS COOLED
DOWN, i.e. IF IT WAS SWITCHED OFF AT LEAST 5
HOURS BEFOREHAND (WITH THE PLUG DISCON-
NECTED).
The True Temp Technology makes it possible to use
distilled or osmosis water in the Medicleantec (contrary
to many other commonly available steam cleaners). It
is therefore not necessary to decalcify the appliance. If
you use calcium-free water and the maintenance dis-
play indicates “CALC”, you can simply switch off this
display (see *1).
The appliance is equipped with a maintenance alert
system which activates if “CALC” is displayed alterna-
ting with the temperature. You can continue to work if
this appears. Then disconnect the plug and allow the
appliance to cool down for at least 5 hours. Follow the
aforementioned steps to ensure that no steam or pres-
sure is present in the boiler interior.
1 Switch off the appliance. (Disconnect plug)
2 Fill water reservoir (1) with water.
3 Place a suitable small tub underneath the appliance
or position it on top of the kitchen sink and remove
the discharge cover (04) from under the appliance.
Allow all the water and calcium deposits to drain
from the boiler. Shake the appliance a little to com-
pletely remove all the calcium deposits.
4 Replace the discharge cover (04) and refill the appli-
ance with water (1).
5 Then switch on the appliance and allow the pump to
run for approx. 2 to 3 minutes until the water from
the bottom tank fills the boiler completely (until the
pump stops making noise). The appliance is now
ready to use again!
The boiler button/heater (06B) must remain off
during the entire decalcification process. Do not
turn the machine upside down or calcium may
enter into the valves!
If you are using water with a high calcium con-
tent, it is recommended to refill the appliance
with water and repeat the aforementioned steps.
*1 RESETTING THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS CALC
Switch on the appliance by pressing buttons (2) and (06A), then press and hold button (06A) for
approx. 10 seconds. “CALC” will not appear until the next time maintenance is due.
Hour counter
This appliance is equipped with two hour counters. In
order to read the number of hours, switch off the appli-
ance using button (06A) and then activate button (06F
and 06G). Pressing this button will alternatively show
the hours for counter 1 and/or 2.

CAUTION
If the water in the tank is decreasing, the red warning light “Water Shortage” (06E) switches on and the warning
light (11F) on the hand grip blinks, followed by an intermittent signal tone. The power supply to the heating
element is cut off until the water tank (01) is filled again.
Fill water in the tank and confirm by pressing the button (06B).
This device is equipped with a double control system that checks if there is water and thus monitors the liquid in
the refill tank as well as in the boiler as follows:
The system checks both the tanks each time the device is switched on, first the boiler and then the refill tank. If
the liquid level in the boiler is insufficient, the system automatically restores the liquid level in it, in which case the
warning light Water Shortage switches on for the duration of this action (approx. 3 seconds).
If the warning light Water Shortage continues to remain on and is accompanied by an acoustic signal tone, then
it is indicative of a liquid shortage in the tank; the tank must be filled.
1Before using your Medicleantec, ensure that
the surface of the appliance does not have any
damage. Check if the volt and ampere ratings of
your power source match the data on the appliance
sticker.
2
Remove the tank cover (1) from the appliance
and fill the reservoir with at least 1 liter of water.
You may use straight tap water, distilled or os-
mosis water. Please do not fill any chemicals in
your Medicleantec.
3
Connect the power cord (03) to an outlet.
4
Connect the steam plug (12) to the designated
appliance accessory outlet (05). Press firmly until
the securing button (13) is engaged.
5
Press the main switch (2) at the back of the
appliance, switch (06A) and the steam boiler
button (06B) and wait for approx. 5 minutes until
the indicator light (06D) is illuminated. It indicates that
the boiler has steam. The switches (11A and 11E) on
the handle should be off.
6When the indicator light (06D) is illuminated, you
can adjust the desired steam flow (steam button
11A) as follows:
a. pressed 1x = Minimum steam (11B)
b. pressed 2x = Medium steam (11C)
c. pressed 3x = Maximum steam (11D)
Press the steam button (10) to release steam. The
status is displayed on the control panel (indicator
lights (06C)).
7
Using the button (11E) allows you to add hot
water to the steam.
Press the button only at short intervals (a few se-
conds) to avoid discharging the generator too quickly.
The switch (11E) only functions if the boiler switch
(06B) was also pressed.

ACCESSORIES
General tips:
•
The cleaning temperature remains equally high
regardless of whether you use the appliance with
minimum or maximum steam. We therefore recom-
mend doing the majority of the work at the Minimum
Steam setting. Bringing the tip of the nozzle closer to
the surface to be cleaned will increase the cleaning
efficiency. Maximum steam is needed only where
additional pressure is required to remove the dirt;
such as in areas that are hard to reach (for example,
radiators, corners in the shower stall, etc.) and all
the areas that require more moisture to clean, such
as carpets and upholstery (more steam = more
moisture).
•
When using triangular (18) or rectangular (17) brushes
with an attached micro-fiber cloth, place a steam
buffer (31, 32) between the brush and the cloth
to expand the cleaning area and to thus achieve
optimum effect.
•
When cleaning parquet floors, laminates or any woo-
den surfaces, we recommend using only little steam/
moisture. In other words, we recommend cleaning
in one area only for a short period and applying
steam only occasionally. The same applies to any
surfaces with silicone.
•
We recommend using nylon brushes and triangu-
lar or rectangular brushes with an attached micro-
fiber cloth to clean marble and stone. Brass brushes
could damage and/or discolor them.
•
Carpets and sofas should be thoroughly vacuumed
before steam cleaning.
•
Never use steam to clean untreated wood.
•
The micro-fiber cloths must be changed several
times depending on how dirty the carpets, up-
holstery or floors are.

Garden furniture
Plastic and rattan
Use the triangular brush (18) with an attached cloth or even
the small or large round nylon brushes (21, 22) in case of
stubborn dirt. For plastic furniture, place a micro-fiber cloth
between the brush and the surface to be cleaned to prevent
damaging it.
Minimum
