Follow the two maintenance steps below after
every use.
1.
Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the
socket. Place immediately on a suitable surface
(eg. tiled floor) where the residual heat/moisture in
the floor nozzle/cloth will not affect the surface.
Wait until the cleaner has cooled down
completely.
2.
Empty the water tanks
(11/13)
by unscrewing the
filler caps and pouring out the water. Allow the
inside of the water tanks to dry out before
replacing the filler caps.
We recommend storing your steam cleaner in the
carpet glider
(24)
, but with the cloth removed to
minimise the likelihood of any water leaking onto
surfaces.
Wrap the cord around the two cord storage
hooks
(4/17)
, rotating the upper storage hook
(4)
upwards to secure the power cord
(12)
in place.

Steam Relief Vent (19)
20
WARNING: In the event of the steam being blocked
from escaping, the steam pressure may be relieved
via a vent located underneath the steam outlet on
the handheld steam cleaner. Never hold the
product in the area of the steam relief vent
(20)
.
Steam or hot water may be emitted from this vent
but only if:
•
the cleaning nozzle has been blocked, eg. by
accidentally sealing it against a surface.
•
the boiler has become blocked due to limescale
caused by using hard water.
If steam is emitted from this vent, ie. if it is seen escaping from around the handheld steam cleaner, switch
off, unplug and allow the product to cool. Please contact the consumer care helpline on 0344 871 0944 for
further advice .
WARNING: Never attempt to use descaler in the product.
