Below we have listed some examples of applications:
Floors
Walls
Tiles, stone fl oors, plastic
fl oors, linoleum
Marble: Never clean marble directly with the floor nozzle without a
cloth. It may be necessary to clean marble floors several times to
completely remove old cleaning agents and grease stains. Select a
low steam setting for this cleaning job. You can increase it as required.
Tiles and ceramic floors: Black marks form in the crevices as a result of
water and cleaning agents. Dust and other remains collect there. For daily
cleaning stretch a fresh, clean cloth over the floor nozzle and secure it with
the fastening clamps. Slide the floor nozzle gently over the floor. To use
all of the cloth as far as possible, you can move it on the floor nozzle or
reverse it. If the dirt is stubborn, you may clean the floor directly with the
fold out brush without a cloth. The bristles loosen the dirt from the crevices
and remove it. Subsequently, cover the floor nozzle with a cloth again and
wipe over the floor again.
Walls Tiles, washable wallpaper
Window
cleaning
Windows, shop windows,
mirrors
Window panes: Use the window nozzle. Apply steam from top to bottom.
Scrape the rubber strip over the glass without steam in order to remove the
condensed water. Make sideways movements from top to bottom in order
to avoid marks.
CAUTION In winter the front sides of the windows must be preheated. Hold
the nozzle 5-10 cm in front of the pane and allow the heat to act. Select a
low steam setting for inside cleaning of the windows. A high steam setting
can be used for outside cleaning.
Upholstery Furniture, cars, boats Fit the floor nozzle directly on to the steam gun and use it with a clean
white cotton cloth. Work using quick steam spurts so that the fabric does
not become soaked. Treat stubborn stains with patience. Carefully steam
one particular spot for not longer than one minute. Then wait five minutes
and repeat the cleaning. Make circular movements, sideways and back and
forth movements so that steam penetrates into all upper layers of the fabric.
Finish the cleaning by brushing the fabric in one direction to give the fabric
an even appearance.
Textiles Curtains, shower curtains,
freshening of outer cloth-
ing, stain removal
The cleaner is excellently suited to smooth folds in clothes. It is sufficient
to steam the fabric from a certain distance. The steam smoothes the folds
without soaking the fabric as other steam devices for fabrics do.
Sanitary
installations
Fittings, baths, shower cu-
bicles and partitions, WCs,
sauna, kitchens

To clean a bath or shower, use the round brush to clean the rails of shower
cubicles and other parts that are difficult to access or very dirty. The win-
dow wiper is very efficient to clean areas covered with tiles.
To clean sanitary installations, use the jet nozzle with or without the round
brush. Use a sponge or kitchen paper to remove excessive moisture and
remaining dirt.

Blinds: Use the small round nylon brush. Move the brush so long over the
surface until steam penetrates it.
Blinds made of PVC must be treated quickly with steam. In the case of
blinds made of fabric, test the material beforehand for colour fastness.
Cars Dashboards, upholstery,
door hinges, wheel rims
Aluminium/steel
To clean the inside of your car, use the floor brush with a cloth for uphol-
stery and other parts and follow the instructions for domestic cleaning. Do
not use the brush without a cloth when you clean leather parts. For hub
caps it is best to use the jet nozzle with the round brush attachment.
