Choosing a quality Kitfort steam cleaner should be based on a number of basic parameters. Let's consider them in detail.

The duration of the operation of the technical device and the rate of initial heating are directly influenced by the volume of the reservoir present in the structure.The larger and more spacious the container, the more water it will be able to fill in there, due to which more steam will be produced. However, in this case, the speed of the initial warm-up will inevitably be delayed. The volume of the boiler does not matter only for professional devices with a pump.

Branded steam cleaners with different tank volumes, from very small to large, are on sale. Each customer chooses for himself which model will be most suitable for him: one that holds a lot of water and gives out a lot of steam, but heats up for a long time, or one that is designed for a small volume of liquid, but heats up very quickly.

The power of the device affects the speed of cleaning. The faster the steam regeneration in the boiler is carried out, the sooner and more efficiently the activities take place. Also, with a more impressive power, the initial heating may accelerate.

This characteristic reflects the power of the steam jet. Strength also depends on the installed nozzle and the length of the hose. The most powerful jet can be obtained if the spray nozzle is installed.

The higher the temperature of the steam, the better the device will clean and smooth the surface entrusted to it. In stores, Kitfort steam cleaners are sold, which give out different temperature values ​​at the outlet. 135-140 degrees are considered optimal. This temperature will be enough to kill germs, but not harm things.

Paying attention to this parameter, it must be remembered that the pressure of the steam cleaner depends on it. The longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be. If the part in question is too long, then this will negatively affect the steam supply. If the power is low, then the steam will cool down. It is recommended to select cleaners equipped with a medium hose.

It is recommended to buy steam cleaners that come with a set of replacement accessories. Usually these are various attachments that are useful in cleaning the house, and other necessary components. For example:

• device body;
• jet, angle nozzles;
• a triangular brush and a nozzle on it;
• glass scraper;
• elongated tubes;
• glass for liquid;
• nets and bags;
• floor brush;
• brass brushes and many other necessary parts.

Use the Kitfort steam cleaners correctly. Let's analyze the instructions for use using the example of one of the popular units - Kitfort KT-933.

• Preparatory measures before starting work are not needed. You just need to figure out the purpose of all the attachments that come with the kit. The boiler must be filled with water.
• To do this, unscrew the lid and using a measuring cup fill the 1.8 l tank... It is better to pour water through a funnel or spout.
• After that you can proceed directly to cleaning. Since you will be dealing with hot steam, you need to be as careful as possible.
• If the liquid in the tank runs out during work, you will have to bleed off steam and turn off the unit. A new batch of water can be poured only after the container has completely cooled down.

The direct cleaning procedure depends on what kind of surface you are processing, but in general, this process looks like this.

• The selected base is processed with hot steam and bristles on the nozzle. Next, wipe the surface with a dry cloth or sponge to remove any remaining dirt.
• It is advisable to rub the surface before it gets completely cold.
• Should be be careful with metal objectsexposed to steam - they may become very hot.

Let's analyze the rules for caring for the cleaner.

• After several cycles of operation, it is recommended to pour clean water into the tank and shake it well - this will wash off the salt deposits.
• If the water is hard, use a descaler.
• It is better to drain the remaining water from the boiler so that salt does not accumulate.
• The housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
