Upholstery and mattresses
For cleaning upholstery and mattresses, you can simultaneously use both the steam and vacuum
functions or else only the vacuum function (special tool I). This tool is equally suitable for the cleaning
of automobile upholstery,
For the procedure to clean the aforementioned materials, see: “Rugs and Carpeted Floors”.
Please note:
Please do not clean sensitive materials (velvet, velour, leather, etc.) with the steam function. Please
test a concealed area of the materials to be cleaned beforehand for color fastness and resistance
to heat
Houseplants
Switch on the steam function (nozzle j). Begin the cleaning from a safe distance.
Please note:
You absolutely must maintain a safe distance in order to lower the steam temperature.
Maintenance of the Machine and Accessories
When performing any maintenance on the appliance, the plug (15)

The GAIA 8000 is a very tough machine and requires only very
little maintenance.
However, in order to avoid dirt buildup in the tubes (a), hoses (e),
accessory components, and dirty water tank (18+1) it is important
to clean the machine after use.
To do so, switch on the vacuum function and simply vacuum up
clear tap water through the parts that have been used. Please
then empty the drawn-in water out of the dirty water tank (18)
and rinse out the tank with clean water.
The dirty water tank (18), float assembly (16) and the "Venturi
effect" assembly (17), are located inside the dirty water tank (18).
They can be removed from their seats in order to be cleaned, as
shown in illustration no. 15.
You should clean the O rings on the accessories at regular
intervals.
Clean the vacuum filter (6) at regular intervals. To do so, disengage
the filter cover (19), Fig. 16. Shake the filter and wash it with clean
water if necessary. Reposition the filter in its seat and refit the filter
cover (19).
In the event that the machine is not used for a long period of time,
we recommend completely emptying out the machine and the
boiler by unscrewing the drain screw (11) (this is located on the
bottom of the machine). Fig. 17
