the device must only be carried out by Hotpoint-
Ariston authorized personnel.
•
Do not use the machine on surfaces on which
lammable solids or liquids are present (such as
hydrocarbons, ash, soot).
• Do not use loor wax.
• Do not ill the tanks with acids, solvents, lam
-
mable substances or other liquids which may
damage the mechanical parts and generate toxic
vapours.
•
Do not use detergent solutions with tempera-
tures above 40°C.

the vapours of lammable substances, paints or
solvents persist and where lammable powders

No responsibility is assumed in case of dam-
age caused by an improper use of the de-
vice. The device is suitable to the current regula-
tions. It can inhale small quantities of liquid. Your
device was designed to clean hard loors which
resist to high temperatures. Do not use on wood-
en unsealed loors and on loors made on non-
enamelled ceramic loors. The action of both heat
and steam could remove the brightness on loors
previously treated with wax. We always recom-
mend to test your device on an isolated area of the
loor before you use it on the whole surface.
Please check the usage and maintenance instruc-
tions given by the producer of your loor.
BEFORE USE
The product is inspected with different tests
before it is produced and sold in order to
guarantee a higher level of quality. This is the reason
why it’s normal to ind some water drops in the tank
when you open the box.
Please remove all stickers, protective plastic or carton
boxes from the device itself. Please make sure all sti-
ckers get removed with a soft wet cloth.

handle (7) until it stops.
• Never aim the device towards people, animals
or plants.
• While using the device, please do not turn it up
-
side down or put it on its side.
• Never clean loors which are contaminated by
substances which are dangerous for your health.
The steam heat can cause the evaporation of
these substances.
•
Do not insert objects into the holes. Do not use
the device if the holes are obstructed.
• Do not insert hands or feet under the device, as
it heats up a lot.
•
Do not use the device to clean tanks under pres-
sure or containers unless you know what’s inside
them. Risk of burst or explosion.

Do not store the device with a wet or soaked
cloth. The residual humidity can cause strong
odours or mould build-up.
