Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and
must not be put out of operation or bypassed with re-
spect to their function.
– The handle is equipped with a safety catch on the
steam switch, which prevents accidental steam re-
lease.
– 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, deactivate
safety device (push safety catch in).

Cleaning methods

Cleaning of various materials
– Please read the cleaning instructions of the manu-
facturer before treating leather, special fabrics and
wooden surfaces and always do a trial on a sample or some hidden part. Let the steam-treated surface
dry and then check whether there are any changes
to the colour or form on account as reaction to the
steam.
– We recommend that you be very careful while
cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.)
because long exposure to steam can damage the
wax coating, the finish or the surface colours.
Hence we recommend that you use steam only for
short intervals or first clean the surface with a cloth
that has been steam-moistened.
– For highly sensitive surfaces (for e.g. synthetic ma-
terials, 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 abra-
sive brushes. Use hand nozzle with rubber lip or
detail nozzle without a round brush.

Refreshing textiles

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 chang-
es or deformation.
