GENERAL INFORMATION
Cleaning and maintenance
Warning: always check that the steam cleaner is turned off and unplugged before cleaning or servicing it.
Clean the appliance passing a slightly damp cloth over the casing. Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning
agents or surgical spirit, as these could damage the casing.
We recommend rinsing the tank after 5 filling operations at the most, if the water hardness is over 1.8 mmol/l
(10°dH). We recommend filling the tank with water and shaking it well before cleaning. This will release any
limescale that has settled on the bottom of the steam cleaner. Pour the water away and leave the tank to cool
down totally before closing it.
The water tank should be treated with a limescale remover approx. once every 6 months to extend the useful
working life of the appliance.
Put one or at the most two of the limescale removal stickers in 1 litre of hot water (50 °C) and fill the tank with
water. Leave the solution to work for approximately 30 minutes and pour the water with the dissolved solids
away. Repeat this process if necessary and rinse the tank with water.
Troubleshooting
First check if you can solve the problem yourself/consulting this list before sending the cleaner to the Authorised
Technical Service.
Fault Possible cause Solution
The “heating” indicator light does
not turn on.
The appliance is not plugged in or

cleaner and connecting a different
appliance.
Ask the customer technical service
to check your appliance.
No steam is expelled when you
push the steam button.
The lock button prevents steam from
being released.
The water tank is empty.
Push the lock button down.
Top up with water to the maximum
level (1.6 litres).
Only a very small amount of steam
is expelled.
The steam controller button is at its
lowest point.
Turn the steam controller button
anticlockwise until enough steam
comes out.
The appliance takes a long time to
heat up.
The water tank is full of scale. Descale the water tank.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Electric products should not be thrown away with domestic rubbish. This appliance should be taken to a local
recycling centre for safe treatment.
Thank you for choosing one of our products.
Warning: the housing and accessories may get hot during operation. Leave the appliance to cool
down before changing the accessories. Never open the tank when the cleaner is on and the tank is
pressurised.
Using the detergent tank
There is a dial with two positions “O” and “Max” on the top of the steam gun (Fig. 22). When it is in position “O”,
steam will come out of the gun and when it is in position “Max” detergent will come out with the steam that we
should have put in the gun, filling it up from one of the sides. We recommend using not very fluid detergent or
diluted with water to make the expulsion easier.
How to add water
The tank should be completely filled up if the steam flow starts to drop and the “low water” indicator light (22)
turns on.
Turn the steam cleaner off pushing the I/O button. The green operating indicator will turn off. Push the steam
gun steam button to release the residual pressure and then lock the gun. Unplug it and leave it to cool down.
Beware: the water tank will still be hot even though five minutes have passed. Open the tank lid
pushing it down and turning it anticlockwise.
Warning: hot steam may come out when you open it. The risk of burns from the steam that comes out
of the lid’s screw top and the tank exists.
Top up with water to the maximum level with the measuring jug and funnel and close it again carefully. The
steam cleaner can then be plugged in and turned on. The cleaner will be ready to use when the “ready”
luminous indicator (20) turns on.
End of operation and storage
Turn the appliance off. Push the steam gun steam button (Fig. 23) to release the residual pressure. Protect
the steam gun pushing the lock button. Unplug it and leave it to cool down. Empty the water tank so that no
sediments can settle (Fig. 24).
Do not close the water tank until it is completely dry. The steam cleaner should have totally cooled down before
moving it. The appliance should be kept out of the reach of children. The extension tube with the nozzle for
floors assembled on it can be put inside the support on the back of the appliance to put it away or for short
rests during work.
