[. . . ] 3 TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE · For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturers' instructions. Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area. · For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc. ) take great care as too long an application of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc. ) we recommend that the small brush should always be covered with at least two cloths and the steam volume turned down to a low level. · If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun (R) from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned. · For the care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres. 46 Mondialvap 2500 ENGLISH STEAM GUN (R) The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment without connecting the brushes. The more resistant the stain, the closer you should hold the gun; the steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should however always wipe with a dry cloth or a slightly abrasive sponge if the stain is a difficult one to remove after using the gun. The steam gun (R) is particularly efficient at: ­ breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush. ­ cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces. ­ cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts, aluminium outlines. ­ cleaning windows shutters, heaters, car interiors. ­ removing odours and creases from clothes. To reach higher points, the steam gun (R) can be connected to one or both extension tubes (1). LARGE BRUSH (2) To wash floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under the brush and swing back and forth without applying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth when the first one is impregnated with dirt. Use the brush (2) directly without the cloth on particularly dirty or encrusted areas and in spaces between the tiles: swing the brush sideways to detach the dirt. Highly obstinate stains may require a steam gun treatment before the brush and cloth are used (an old bath towel is an ideal cloth). The same procedures apply to ceilings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper: in this case the cloth can easily be fastened around the brush (2) and held in place by the four clips on the brush itself. Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the treatment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth around the brush then pass it over the window pane (or mirror) to remove the greasy film. Finally, spray the surface with the steam gun and wipe dry with a clean cloth. [. . . ] WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
