HOW THE APPLIANCE WORKS
Plugging it in
Plug the steam cleaner into a properly installed mains socket (Fig. 18) and turn the machine on pushing the
I/O switch (Fig. 19).
The “heating” luminous indicator (orange) indicates that the steam cleaner is heating up. Operating temperature
will be reached after a few minutes. The “ready” (green) luminous indicator will then turn on, indicating that
the cleaner is ready to use.
Using the steam cleaner
Warning: never point the steam gun at people, animals, plants or electrical systems (for example, a
mains plug). The risk of being scalded or electric shocks exists.
Release the locking device (25) (childproof device) pushing the triangular pin on the steam gun down (Fig.
20). Hot steam will come out if you push the steam button.
First hold the steam gun over an old cloth to absorb the pulveriser’s initial water. Activate the steam button
until steam comes out evenly. You can now start to clean.
Precaution: always test the cleaner in hidden or invisible areas of the surfaces or fabrics to be cleaned
to check their tolerance to the hot steam.
- Steam may bleach painted/varnished wood.
- Steam may bleach shiny plastic.
- Acrylic, velvet and linen fabrics are very sensitive to the steam’s
temperature.
- Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without previously
testing a hidden area.
The manufacturer cannot be considered liable for any damage to objects, materials, people, animals
or plants caused by the appliance’s hot steam.
Do not point the steam cleaner’s outlet at the same point for too long. Remove dirt moving the steam jet
backwards and forwards. Steam flow can be adjusted turning the steam controller and can be adjusted to
the level or dirtiness. Turn the steam controller clockwise to emit less steam, and anticlockwise to emit more
steam (Fig. 21).
Do not knock or tilt the appliance over 45º during use and check that
the cleaner is always placed on a firm base. A full tank is sufficient for
50 minutes of usage. Do not leave the machine unsupervised when it is
on and if necessary use the childproof safety lock to protect the steam
switch.
NOTE: residual steam continues to be expelled for a few seconds
after turning off the steam function.
The largest wire brush (Fig. 14) is suitable for resistant stains on less sensitive materials such as stainless
steel or stone. Nozzles with brushes are removed just by pulling them downwards.
Window accessory
Push the right angle accessory firmly down onto the nozzle. Put the cotton cover around the accessory to get
more thorough cleaning and protect the work surface (Fig. 15).
Precaution:
Glass may crack if it is subjected to heat discharge. Preheat the areas with glass before cleaning with
steam, spraying steam in a wider arch from a distance of 20 - 25 cm. Slowly reduce the distance to
10 – 15 cm to heat the glass up a little more.
Filling the water tank
This cleaner includes a 1.6 litre water tank.
Turn the steam cleaner off and unplug it. The steam cleaner should always be unplugged when you pour water
into it. Unscrew the tank lid (Fig. 17) pushing the lid down and turning it anticlockwise at the same time. Use
the supplied funnel and measuring jug to add water (Fig. 18).
Only add pure water without additives of any type such as perfumes, detergents, surgical spirit, etc., as these
could damage the machine and make using it dangerous. We advise using distilled water to prevent limescale
from forming if the water is very hard (over 2.5 mmol/l or 21 dH).
On the contrary, boil the water first to increase the cleaner’s working life.
Precaution: do not exceed the maximum amount of 1.6 litres when filling the tank.
Screw the tank lid firmly on turning it clockwise using pressure.
Tip: it will take less time to heat up if you fill it up with hot water.
