4. Safety Instructions
To avoid life-threatening electric shocks:
• Make certain that the power cord
does not become wet or moist during
operation. Run it such that it cannot be
crushed or damaged.
• If the power cord or the power plug
are damaged, have these replaced by
the customer service before continuing
to use the device.
• First pull the plug out of the power
socket before filling the device with
water or changing acccessory parts.
• Only use the device in dry rooms, not
outdoors.
• Only fill the device with the supplied
measuring cup! Never hold it under
running water. Never submerge the
device in water.
• Never leave a heat-generating device
unattended! After use or during work
pauses, always pull the plug out of the
power socket. The device heats up and
generates steam pressure as long as
the plug is in the power socket!
• Only use the device with dry hands
and never without shoes (not barefoot). This reduces contact of hot liquid
or steam with the body in the event of
an error.
To prevent fire hazards and the risk of
injury:
• Never direct the steam toward people
or animals. Hot, high pressure steam
can cause serious injuries!
• Caution - heat! High temperatures
should be expected at the steam exit
and lid threads during operation and
up to 30 minutes approx. after unplugging the power card. Do not touch
these areas until they have cooled
down completely.
• Only fill the device with clear water –
never use other liquids or any additives!
These can react in unexpected ways
under pressure and heat!
• Risk of scalding!
Never open the lid while pressure exists
within the boiler (e.g. if hissing can still be
heard when pressing the steam switch).
Otherwise, hot steam can escape rapidly
upon opening!
• Do not operate the device with an
empty tank. If the water reserve is used
up, unplug the power cord to prevent
overheating.
• Let the accessories cool before
removing them.
• Only use the original accessory parts
for this device. Other parts may not be
sufficiently safe.
• Never let children or elderly persons
work with the device unattended as
they may not always properly appreciate the possible hazards.
• Wear gloves, protective glasses and
breathing protection when attempting
to remove substances hazardous to
health.

5. Operation
First test on a less visible area whether the
material to be cleaned is suitable for high
pressure steam, for instance:
• Painted wood or leather can be
bleached by steam.
• Unprotected wood can swell.
• Protective wax coatings can be remo-
ved by steam.
• Plastics can be melted by steam.
• Soft plastics can deform when ex-
posed to steam.
• Cold glass or mirror surfaces can
snap when encountering hot steam. If
you wish to clean windows, you must
first preheat them, for instance by
applying the steam over large areas
from a greater distance, then moving it
progressively closer.
• Acrylic, velvit and linen react sensitive-
ly to hot steam, as do plastic fibres.
a) Attaching / Removing Accessories
Warning: Make certain that the power
cord is unplugged before attaching or
removing accessories. Attached accessories can still be hot after prior operation!
➩ Select the accessory appropriate for the
intended cleaning (- , - )

nection nozzle and turn it 1/4 turn ...
• clockwise to lock it (turn tight),
• counter-clockwise to remove it.
b) Filling and refilling with Water
Warning: Before refill water:
• Let the device cool down, otherwise
there is a risk of scalding.
• Unplug the power cord, otherwise there
is a risk of electrical shock.
Note: The device is equipped with a safety
mechanism that prevents opening of the
lid as long as steam is present in the
boiler.
➩ Pull the power plug out of the socket.
➩ Press the steam switch until the
steam has been completely released
from the boiler.
➩ Unscrew the lid on top of the boiler
and lift it off.
➩ Use the measuring cup and funnel
to fill with a maximum of 280 ml of
cold, clear water.
Caution: Do not overfill the device.
Excessive pressure can result if too much
water is added. The device could be
damaged!
➩
Screw the lid closed again by hand
until tight.
c) Allowing the Device to Heat Up
When the boiler is filled with water and the
lid is firmly closed:
➩ Place the device on a flat surface that

to be cleaned. ...
• First at a distance of about 20 cm.
➩ Press the steam switch , steam now
flows from the nozzle.
➩ You can now move as close to the sur-
face being cleaned as the material permits.
6.Cleaning the Device
Danger: Do not open any part of the
housing. There are no operating elements
inside. An open housing can create the
risk of a life-threatening electrical shock.
Before cleaning the device, ....
➩ First unplug the power cord and ...
➩ Let the device cool. This can take up
to 30 minutes. approx.. Caution – the
lid threads remain hot for some time,
even after the rest of the device has
already cooled.
➩ Remove deposits from the boiler after
about 10 - 15 uses. To do this, fill the
boiler with clear water as described in
5.b). Then close the lid and shake the
device forcefully.

remaining in the boiler – the bacteria
may be blown into the air during the
next use.
➩ Store the device in a dry location.
➩ Store the device in a place that is
inaccessible to children and elderly
persons. They may not properly
appreciate the hazards involved with
devices that generate heat.
