ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

FOREWORD: STEAM AND STEAM PLUS

 

ECOFRIENDLY STEAM MACHINES

 

By taking advantage of the steam energy and the brushes pressure 
for  the  floorings  and  carpets  cleaning  WITHOUT  THE  USE  OF 
DETERGENTS.

 

Washes, restores, dries and sterilises all types of flooring by means of powerful steam jets. 
The steam jet is directed on the floor at a high temperature facilitating the removal of even 
the most stubborn dirt.

 

The steam sprayed close to the floor is even more effective in the removal of greasy and 
stubborn dirt on either hard, smooth or profiled flooring.

 

This steam jet washing system is particularly effective on textile flooring such as CARPETS 
and RUGS etc, as it not only washes the textile fibres but it re-vitalizes them as well.

 

The appliance is equipped with two standard tanks that can also be used conventionally 
with water and detergent.

 

On the STEAM and STEAM PLUS models, two tanks are used, one contains and supplies 
the water and the other contains the steam generator.

 

6.5.1

 

STEAM GENERATOR 
OPERATION

 

The steam generator that produces the steam (DUPLEX STEAM model) is equipped with 
self-testing  devices  capable  of  blocking  operation  at  any  time  and  under  any  work 
circumstance  to  prevent  accidents  that  could  damage  people  or  objects.  The  steam 
production system works in continuous mode without a pressurised boiler.

 

A  special  resin  filter  located  inside  the  tank  softens  the  water  in  order  to  reduce  any 
calcification.

 

To generate steam pour only water into the tank. (and 50ml Hydroscale (in the UK))
