Before you use the steam cleaner for the
cleaning of textiles, you should always test
the resistance of the fabrics against steam
by means of cleaning a hidden spot. Apply
steam to the hidden spot, and then let it dry.
Check whether the colour and shape of the
area have changed.
ṇ WARNING
Never direct the steam jet at glued edges as
the edge band may loosen. Do not use the
steam cleaner on wooden or parquetry
floors that have not been sealed.
Be careful when you clean kitchen and living
room furniture, doors, parquetry, lacquered
or plastic-coated surfaces! Upon a longer in-
fluence of steam, wax, furniture polish, plas-
tic coatings, or paint may come off, or stains
may occur. Therefore, you should only clean
such surfaces using a piece of cloth to which
steam has been applied or very briefly using
a double layer of cloth on the nozzle.

WARNING
Never direct the steam jet directly at the
sealed parts of the window around the win-
dow frame to prevent damages of the seal-
ing.
In case of low outside temperatures, espe-
cially in the winter, warm up the window
pane. Apply a small quantity of steam to the
entire glass surface. Thus, you compensate
temperature differences and avoid stresses
in the glass surface. This is of importance
because glass surfaces that are heated un-
evenly may crack.
