be activated when the mop head is attached to the appliance. The rotation function is not possible with

any other attachment.

4. Slowly move the appliance over the surface to be cleaned. The absorbent microﬁbre pads absorb the

dirt that has been loosened by the steam. Apply the steam liberally. Have a towel ready to wipe away any

excess water that may gather.

5. Water level warning: If the temperature and steam display ﬂashes 6 times or you hear a ticking noise, the

appliance is indicating a low water level. Once the appliance stops emitting steam, reﬁll the water tank

to continue cleaning, or turn oﬀ the appliance and stop cleaning. The appliance allows ﬁlling of the tank

when it is activated, as it has an automatic water function that stops the steam process as soon as the

tank is empty.

6. Turning oﬀ the appliance: After each use, ensure that the appliance is SWITCHED OFF and unplugged from

the outlet so that it is completely SWITCHED OFF before next use. If there is still water in the tank, you

should empty it.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING REAL WOODEN FLOORS

• Steam clean your real wooden ﬂoors at most every 3 days and only ever at Level 1 (lowest level).

• Do not leave the device positioned over one place for more than 5 seconds when it is switched on.

• Never pass over the same spot more than 3 times during cleaning; this should be enough to remove

any dirt and will ensure maximum longevity of your wooden ﬂoors.

• Do not use on untreated wooden ﬂoors.

• Test the appliance on a small, isolated area of your ﬂoor before using it across the entirety of the

surface!

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to a wooden ﬂoor (raised grain or similar).

General notes on use:

• This product emits steam and generates moisture. Water stains, discolouration or damage may appear

at its base if the unit is operated in one place for too long.

• Apply particular caution when using the appliance on vinyl, linoleum or other heat-sensitive ﬂoors.

Excessive heat can melt glue used on the ﬂoor. Only use the appliance on coated ﬂoors that have been

professionally laid and do not have any cracks or gaps that would allow moisture to enter.

• Test the appliance on a small, isolated area of your ﬂoor before using it across the entirety of the

surface.

• Never use the appliance in one place for too long. This can damage the ﬂoor surface. Never put your

hands or feet under the mop. The appliance gets very hot.

• A pulsing noise may be heard while the mop is working. This is a perfectly normal operating noise, and

it means that the mop is producing steam. It is possible that some droplets of water will be generated

along with the steam. This is also completely normal.

• The power and temperature of the steam could adversely aﬀect some materials. Therefore, always test

the steam mop on an inconspicuous area ﬁrst to ensure that the surface cannot be damaged by its use.

Tips for use:

• Sweep or vacuum the ﬂoor before using the appliance.

• To prevent the formation of puddles, the microﬁbre pads must always be clean and dry. To ensure this,

wring out the pads as needed.

• To sanitize an area of your ﬂoor, allow it to work in one spot for about 10 seconds (but no longer than

15 seconds).

• The mop can stand independently if you snap the handle forward.

USING THE HAND STEAM CLEANER

WARNING: Please make sure the appliance is unplugged before assembling it or changing accessories.

Note: Never remove or attach accessories while the appliance is in operation.

1. Press the semicircular telescopic pole release button (above the water tank release button) and pull the

telescopic pole straight out of the unit.

2. Fill the water tank with water.

3. Either attach the desired attachment (see section: Using the accessories) or use the mop head.

4. Once the appliance is fully assembled and ﬁlled with water, plug the power cord into an earthed outlet.

Press the steam button.

5. The appliance will start emitting steam after about 10-15 seconds. Select the desired steam level using

the steam button.

6. Slowly move the appliance over the surface to be cleaned.

7. If the handset stops emitting steam, reﬁll the water tank if necessary and continue cleaning.

8. After each use, ensure that the appliance is SWITCHED OFF and unplugged from the outlet so that it is

completely SWITCHED OFF before next use.

NOTES AND TIPS FOR USE AS A HANDHELD STEAMER:

• To hygienically clean work surfaces, kitchen counters, sinks, bathrooms, etc., let the steam cleaner

work in one place for about 15 seconds.

• Do not use the hand steamer on heat- and steam-sensitive materials. The power and temperature of

the steam could adversely aﬀect some materials. Therefore, always test on an inconspicuous area ﬁrst

to ensure that the surface cannot be damaged by its use.

• Do not use the handheld steamer to clean leather, waxed furniture, waxed ﬂoors, synthetic materials,

velvet, or other steam-sensitive materials.

USING THE ACCESSORIES (#9-10):

1. Removing the mop head: Press the mop head release button and pull the mop head oﬀ the appliance.

2. Attaching the jet nozzle: Now attach the jet nozzle to the main unit, making sure that the round pin on

the nozzle snaps into place on the main unit.

3. Attaching an attachment: Now attach the desired attachment (brush, corner nozzle) to the tip of the jet

nozzle. Insert both pins at the tip of the power nozzle into the guide rail on the respective attachment, and

turn the attachment to the left or right. To remove the attachment, twist it oﬀ again.

Notes on accessories:

ATTENTION: Never use the round metal brush on scratch-sensitive surfaces. To remove the brush, turn it

clockwise and pull it oﬀ the jet nozzle thread.

Accessories tips:

• The round plastic brush is perfect for stains that are extremely diﬃcult to remove (e.g. paint on the

ﬂoor) and is particularly suitable for cleaning smooth, hard surfaces such as toilets, sinks, kitchen

worktops, wheel rims and stubborn stains of all kinds.

• The small round metal brush, on the other hand, is particularly eﬀective for cleaning hard surfaces,

such as brick ﬂoors, grill grates, metal doors, metal frames and the like.

• Both brushes are also highly eﬀective for removing grease from pans, hotplates and ovens. You can

also use them in combination with soap or cleaner on dirty areas.

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

WARNING: Make sure the appliance is unplugged before attempting any cleaning operations.

Cleaning the water tank

Empty and clean the water tank after each use. Use detergent to clean the accessories (jet nozzle and round

brushes) if they are dirty. Then leave them to air dry.

Descaling the inside of the water tank

To get rid of limescale deposits inside the water tank, add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar to the water-

ﬁlled tank, put on the cap, and shake. DO NOT TURN ON THE STEAM CLEANER. Leave the container for a few

hours. Afterwards, empty the tank, reﬁll with fresh water, and rinse until no debris is visible.

WARNING: Never fully immerse the appliance in water.

Removal of limescale deposits

If the appliance begins to generate steam more slowly than usual, or stops producing steam altogether,

limescale removal may be required. These deposits build up on metal parts over time and signiﬁcantly aﬀect

the performance of the mop. Limescale deposits should be removed regularly, approximately after each 25 to

50 tank ﬁlls, or at least once a month. This is especially true in hard water areas. The cleaning intervals depend

on the degree of hardness of the water and how intensively the mop is used.

To remove limescale deposits from the appliance, please follow the instructions below:

Cleaning with a cleaning solution:

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and pour it into the water tank.

2. Fix the appliance in place, ensuring that the steam cleaner is not pointed at ﬂoors, surrounding objects

or surfaces. Plug in the appliance, press the steam button and let it produce steam until the vinegar and

water solution has all turned to steam.

3. Repeat the above process as many times as necessary until the steam output returns to a normal level.

4. Fill the water tank with fresh water and rinse.

5. Fill the water tank with fresh water, put it back on the appliance, and release steam until the tank is

empty.

WARNING: SCALDING HAZARD

Never leave the steam cleaner unattended during the limescale removal process or during normal use.

Note: Before use, test the appliance in a suitable place to ensure that there is no debris remaining inside it.

6. Cleaning clogged accessories: Due to the high mineral content of water in some areas, you may

experience less steam being generated by your handheld steam cleaner. This could be due to limescale

deposits in the nozzle tip.

7. To remove limescale deposits, please proceed as follows: We recommend using a spray-on lubricant.

Spray once or twice into the tip of the nozzle. Then, according to the instructions, ﬁll the steam cleaner

with water and continuously generate steam through the aﬀected opening for a few minutes to remove

the deposit.

8. Once the aﬀected part is clean and the steam is free to exit, point the steam cleaner at a neutral surface

or cleaning cloth to ensure no leftover particles are escaping with the steam.

Cleaning the microﬁbre pads:

You can clean the microﬁbre pads in the washing machine.

Pad material: 100% polyester
