SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before connecting the cleaner to the power supply, first check that the voltage specified on

the type designation plate matches that of your power supply.

2. Do not leave the cleaner entirely alone. If you leave the working area, please switch the

cleaner off, and remove the plug from the socket (by pulling on the plug, and not on the

power supply cable).

3. To protect children from danger from electrical equipment, please ensure that the power

supply cable is not hanging down, and that children cannot obtain access to the cleaner.

4. Store the cleaner safely out of reach of children.

5. Never allow children to play with the plastic packaging.

6. The cleaner is equipped with a thermostat and a thermal safety device as protection

against overheating.

English

English

7. Check the cleaner, power supply cable and accessories regularly for damage. A damaged

cleaner or accessories should not be used.

8. Do not attempt to repair the cleaner yourself.

9. Use only the original accessories included with the cleaner.

10. Before replacing accessories, always switch off the cleaner and remove the plug from the

socket.

11. The accessories will become hot during use - allow them to cool down before replacement.

12. The container is under pressure. The tank cover must not be opened during use.

13. The cleaner should not be tilted at an angle of more than 45° during use.

14. Never immerse the cleaner in water or other fluids.

15. The cleaner should only be used in containers or basins not filled with liquid.

16. Ensure that the cleaner is refilled with water in good time. The water tank should be

emptied after use.

17. Never fill the tank with anything but cold water.

18. When refilling the tank with water, always switch off the cleaner and remove the plug from

the socket.

19. Do not overfill the tank. Never fill with more than the specified amount of water. Please use

the measuring beaker supplied with the cleaner.

20. Ensure that the cover of the water tank is firmly and properly closed, as described in these

instructions.

21. Never fill the cleaner with products containing airfresheners, stain-remover or alcohol,

since such materials will damage the cleaner or pose a danger to the user.

22. The housing will heat up during use - this is quite normal.

23. Carry the cleaner only by the hand-grip.

24. Do not touch any hot parts of the cleaner.

25. Never attempt to clean clothes with the device while they are still being worn.

26. It is quite normal for water to drip from the nozzle occasionally. This is simply steam that

has condensed back to water at the nozzle.

27. The force and heat of the steam may damage certain materials. Always check first whether

a surface is suitable for treatment with the cleaner by carrying out a test on a small,

concealed area of the surface.

28. Examples (for information only): painted wood or leather can be bleached by the action of

steam.

29. Glossy plastic can be dulled by steam.

30. Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the temperature of steam.

31. Do not use the cleaner of Dralon fabrics without first having carried out a suitability test on

a small, inconspicuous area.

32. Never direct the steam jet at other persons, animals, electrical equipment or power

connections (e.g. into a refrigerator, oven pipes etc…).

33. Exposure to hot steam can cause scalding! Before opening the tank cover to refill the tank,

release the steam pressure by pressing the steam switch on the steam gun, or allow the

cleaner to cool down completely.

Attention: before cleaning surfaces and textiles, first check whether these are suitable for steam

cleaning. If you are not sure, carry out a test first on an inconspicuous area. Do not hold the

steam jet concentrated for too long on a single spot.

Attention: the manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or injury to objects, materials,

persons or animals as a result of improper use of steam or improper use of the cleaner.

Please see the User Manual for recommendations.

OPERATION AND FUNCTION

Over-heating protection

The device is equipped with protection against overheating. The cleaner will switch itself off

automatically on reaching a to big temperature, in order to prevent over-heating. In this event,

please remove the plug from the socket immediately. Allow the cleaner to cool down for 30

minutes before resuming work.

Filling the water tank (Illustration 2)

Always ensure that the plug of the device is removed from the socket before filling or refilling

the cleaner with water. Remove the cover of the water tank by pressing it down and turning it

anti-clockwise. Fill the tank with 1L of water using the measuring beaker. Replace the cover and

close it tightly by turning in the clockwise direction. The water tank should be emptied after

use. Allow the inside of the water tank to dry out before replacing the cover.

Refilling the water tank

If the water tank needs to be refilled during use, first switch the cleaner off and remove the

plug from the socket. Before opening the tank cover to refill the tank, release the steam

pressure by pressing the steam switch on the steam gun, or allow the cleaner to cool down

completely.

The water tank can then be refilled as follows. Remove the cover of the water tank by pressing

it down and turning it anti-clockwise. Fill the tank with 1L of water using the measuring beaker.

Replace the cover and close it tightly by turning in the clockwise direction.

Even after a cooling down period of 5 minutes, the remaining water in the tank and the tank

cover locking screw will still be hot. Always take care when removing the tank cover locking

screw, since hot steam may be emitted and the thread can still cause burns. The filler opening

of the cleaner must never be opened during use (CONTAINER UNDER PRESSURE).

Attention: never fill the tank with anything but cold water. The use of any other fluids can be

dangerous, and can lead to damage of the heating element.

The use of distilled water is recommended particularly in areas with hard water, in order to

prevent the build-up of scale. Otherwise, use boiled water in order to prolong the working life

of the cleaner.

Power indicator light / On/Off switch

When the water tank has been filled, insert the plug into the socket. Switch the cleaner on by

pressing the on/off switch to On. The power indicator light (red) should then come on,

indicating that the cleaner is being supplied with power.

Ready display

The steam readiness light (yellow) will come on. The operating temperature will be reached

after about 11 minutes (steam readiness light (yellow) goes out). The device is now ready for

use.

In order to avoid injury, the steam should be switched off during breaks or pauses during work

by pressing the on/off switch to Off. If you leave the working area, please switch the cleaner

off, and remove the plug from the socket (by pulling on the plug, and not on the power supply

cable).

Steam-checking button (Illustration 3)

With the steam-checking button you can determine the steam emission. It is possible to

determine the quantity of steam between MIN (minimum), no steam and MAX (maximum),

maximum steam.

Should no steam come out of the device during use of the device, then check:

- If the steam-checking button is not set to minimum

- If the device has been switched on and if the device has reached the service temperature.

- If the children's protective device is in disorder.

- If all the connecting pieces have been properly mounted.

- If the steam tube has been properly mounted to the device.

Should the above-mentioned checking not lead to a result, please switch the device off and pull

the plug from the wall socket. Let the device cool down completely and then check if there is

water in the tank. If not, please fill the device as described at the header “filling the water tank”.

Should there be sufficient water in the tank yet, please start using the device once more. If

there is still no steam coming from the device, then please contact us.

USE OF ACCESSORIES

Steam Gun (Illustration 4)

Before you can start using the device, you must be certain that the steam tube has been

mounted to the device correctly. You can also do this after you have mounted accessories to

the steam gun. Lift up the lid of the steam tube and see to it that you mount the tube in the

connection point in a proper manner. To do this, you must let the 6 small tubes connect to

each other properly. Push the two pieces well into each other.

The cleaner is ready for use when the yellow steam readiness light goes out. Ensure that the

child safety lock on the steam gun is off. When you now press the steam switch, steam will be

emitted from the nozzle. Direct the steam gun at a cloth first, until the steam is emitted evenly.

Now keep the steam switch pressed, and direct the steam jet at the surface to be cleaned,

removing the dirt by moving the steam jet over the surface. The steam jet will be stopped as

soon as you release the steam switch.

Safety Lock (Illustration 5)

When the lock is pushed to the forward position, the steam switch cannot be pressed. Push the

lock to the rear position to release the steam switch.

In order to ensure safe use, even in case of accidental contact with liquids, the steam gun is

insulated from the electrical power supply (zero-volt system).

When cleaning surfaces with the steam gun, wipe the surface dry afterward using a micro-fibre

or cotton cloth if necessary; this will also remove any excess moisture for thorough cleaning. In

order to control the steam temperature and cleaning power at the surface, move the steam gun

closer to or further away from the surface. Do not hold the steam jet concentrated for too long

on a single spot.

Extension tubes (Illustration 6)

Depending on the task in hand, you can fit one, two or three extension tubes. Push the

extension tube onto the connection nozzle as far as it will go until you hear it click into place.

Then fit the switchable floor nozzle.

Switchable floor nozzle

The switchable floor nozzle is used for the cleaning of large washable wall and floor areas. The

floor nozzle can be used either with or without a cloth cover.

Sensitive surfaces (wood, linoleum etc.) should always be cleaned using the cloth supplied.

Place the floor nozzle on the cleaning cloth and pull the cloth under the clips at both sides.

For cleaning stubborn dirt on less sensitive surfaces, the brush fitting can be extended by

pressing the setting button.

The cleaning effect of the cloth can be improved by turning and changing the cleaning cloth

regularly. To clean very dirty areas, move the cleaning nozzle over the surface more slowly in

order to increase the cleaning action of the steam.

cleaning such glass surfaces with the steam-cleaner, warm them up by applying steam to the

surface from a distance of 20-25 cm. Continue by applying steam from a distance of 10-15 cm.

Remove the plug from the socket before fitting or changing accessories. The accessories will

become hot during use - allow them to cool down before replacement.

AFTER USE

Switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the socket. Wait until the cleaner has cooled

down completely. Empty the water tank. Allow the inside of the water tank to dry out before

replacing the cover. Store the device in a dry area safely out of the reach of children.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Rinsing out the water tank

To clean the water tank, we recommend that you fill it with water and shake vigorously. This will

release any limescale deposits that have collected on the bottom of the tank. Pour the water

out while holding the cleaner upside down to rinse out any scale deposits.

Cleaning

Cleaning and maintenance work on the cleaner must only be carried out when the plug has

been removed from the socket. Allow the cleaner to cool down completely before putting it

away or carrying out any cleaning. Clean the steam-cleaner and accessories only with a slightly

damp cloth.
