floor cleaning.
3. Press the handle of the base unit into the stand until you hear the locking mechanism click into

activator is pressed. You can now start cleaning the floor.
11. Slowly move the cleaning head backwards and forwards over the surface to be cleaned (do
not press to hard!) and press the steam activator as required.
12. For cleaning carpets, insert the cleaning head (with the floor cleaning cloth) into the carpet

13. When you want to replace or rinse out the floor cleaning cloth, switch the appliance off with the
on/off switch and remove the plug from the plug socket. Never pull on the cable always pull at
the plug. Wait a few minutes so that the appliance and floor cleaning cloth can cool down.

head. Afterwards you can replace the floor cleaning cloth.
14. Once the water tank is empty and steam is no longer being generated, switch the appliance off,
pull the plug out of the plug socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
Then remove the water tank and refill it with water.
15. If the cleaning process has finished and the appliance has completely cooled down, remove
the water tank, empty it and let it dry.
16. Turn op the top hook for holding the cable upwards and roll up the cable.
17. Remove the floor cleaning cloth from the cleaning head and rinse it out.
18. Store the appliance upright in a cool, dry place. To stop the appliance, return it to a vertical
(standing) position. Engage the pivot on the cleaning head and the appliance is locked in
place.
19. Before using the appliance again, the water tank should always be checked for any residual
water and, if necessary, completely emptied.
ATTENTION: On surfaces that have been treated with wax, the wax may be removed by the heat
and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood floors or let unit stand on any wood floor for an
extended period of time. This could cause the wood grain to rise. When using on vinyl, linoleum or any
other heat sensitive floors, use extra caution. Too much heat can melt down glue in the flooring. It is
therefore recommended that a sample cleansing be carried out on an isolated area of the floor. It is
also recommended that you check the use and care instructions of the surface from the floor
manufacturer to ensure suitability to steam cleaning.
