ACCESSORY TOOL AND USAGE HINTS (Standard accessory pack varies with machine) WARNING Before cleaning cookers, fridges lamps or other electrical appliances we recommend you should always disconnect the appliance to be cleaned from the mains. STEAM GUN (ON/OFF HANDLE) If necessary wipe the surface cleaned with a cotton cloth after cleaning with steam gun. This helps to take up any reamining dampness, especially after close application. To regulate the steam temperature and cleaning power hold the gun nearer to or further from the surfaces as required. By adding one or more extension tubes you can also use the outlet of the extension tube as a steam gun to avoid over-reaching. Use the steam gun in any application; eg to get into hard-to-reach corners and crannies in living rooms or bathrooms, in the kitchen (eg cooker or fridge), car interiors, for softening of stains in fabrics, etc. GENERAL Apply the steam jet with great care especially on sensitive surfaces to avoid damage by the hot steam. Never hold your hand close to the steam, the steam is even effective in places which cannot be reached by normal cleaning methods. Even old deposits are released and removed. If you find strong smells given off by the dirt released, ventilate the room well whilst working. LARGE BRUSH Use this brush to clean all large surfaces. To clean hard surfaces you need only place the brush head inside a cloth without clipping on, if you wish. To clean heavily soiled surfaces, apply the brush with steam on first without a cloth to release the dirt, then proceed as above. With the large brush you can also clean large tiles, wall surfaces or other wall coverings, or preprepare badly soiled large glass surfaces. SMALL BRUSH Use this brush for surfaces similar to those mentioned for the large brush, but where the area to be covered is smaller. Always cover the brush head with at least one small cotton cloth (or our special sockettes). Dirty cloths can be washed in a washing machine or dishwasher, (however do not add softener). CLEANING WITH BRUSHES On sensitive surfaces (eg plastic or synthetics, varnished surfaces) always use at least one cotton cover (to avoid marking). WOOD SURFACES Too long or too strong an application of steam may loosen wax, furniture polish or dye from wood surfaces (eg furniture, doors, etc. On such surfaces give only a short gentle application from a distance or play the steam into a cloth and then wipe surface with the cloth. FABRICS Before cleaning fabrics, always test first on a non-visible area. [. . . ] In this way you remove limescale deposits and maintain the system's efficiency. After using the brushes allow to cool in free-standing position to avoid misshaping the bristles. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for use of the system which is not in accordance with operating instructions. CARE OF UNIT Before cleaning or servicing the unit, ensure it is disconnected from the mains. [. . . ]
