provided for holding the cable.

USE
9 Always check the floor cleaning cloth for wear before each use. It must not be used if it is
visibly worn or damaged. This could result in damage to your floor covering.
9 The steam cleaner should only be used with floor cleaning cloths specifically manufactured
for it.
9 When cleaning, ensure that the floor cleaning cloth is firmly attached to the cleaning head in
order to avoid damage to the appliance or floor covering.

(e.g. oven interiors, refrigerators, switches and lights, microwaves etc.).

wait until it has cooled down and the appliance is no longer emitting any steam.
9 Put the appliance back in its place only when it has completely cooled down.
BEFORE USE - IMPORTANT
Water residue in the filter and in the tank can be attributed to the appliance having been tested.
When using the appliance for the first time, or if the appliance has not been used for a long time, it
may take some time after switching on for steam to be generated, as the appliance’s pipes are not yet
filled with water. Steam can only be emitted when the appliance has reached its operating temperature
and the appropriate parts of the appliance have filled with water. To do this, press the steam activator
Before using the steam mop, test on an inconspicuous area of the carpet or rug for color fastness!
