Our products are designed to the highest quality, functionality and design standards. We hope you enjoy your
new SKY PLUS steam cleaner from PALSON.
INTRODUCTION
Your new steam cleaner is a very versatile aid for several cleaning jobs. Just with the help of steam you can
remove the most difficult dirt without any remains on smooth surfaces, such as floor and wall tiles, kitchen
utensils, windows, mirrors, and disinfect at the same time. This is the most efficient and ecological way to
completely remove remains of stuck food, mould, grease, solid and loose dirt and without chemical solvents.
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For the power supply
• Check that the voltage shown on the specifications plate coincides with your socket before connecting the
steam cleaner to the mains power supply.
• Only connect the appliance to a socket that is correctly earthed.
• You should be able to plug the appliance into the socket. The plug cannot be changed in any way. Do not
use adaptors with appliances that have protective earthing. Non-modified plugs reduce the risk of electric
shocks.
• We recommend only using the appliance with a socket protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Ask
an electrician if necessary.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains, removing the plug from the socket. Never pull the cord
out.
• A broken power cord can only be replaced by one with identical connection values.
• Make sure that there is no danger of tripping over the cord. The cord should not be bent, pressed or
crushed.
• Never use an extension cord.
For groups of special people
• Be extremely careful when using the appliance in the presence of children or the disabled.
• Never leave the steam cleaner unattended, particularly if there are children or disabled people in the same
room.
• The cleaner should be kept out of the reach of children.
• This appliance is not a toy. Supervise children so that they do not play with it or the packaging.
• Adults or children must not operate this appliance without help or supervision if they are physically,
sensorially or mentally incapable of doing so safely. Children should be watched to make sure that they
do not play with this product.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, authorised technical service or
qualified engineer to prevent dangerous situations.
To use the appliance
• Check the appliance, the cord and accessories now and then to see if they have been damaged. Do not
use damaged appliances or accessories.
• Never point the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk of burns). Do not point the steam cleaner
at electrical systems or cords.
• Do not use the appliance without supervision. If you leave the work area, always turn the appliance off and
unplug it from the mains.
• The cleaner has a thermostat with a heat guard as protection against overheating.
• The accessories heat up during usage. Leave them to cool down before changing them.
• Never unscrew the tank’s safety lid (17) when you are using the appliance. The tank is subjected to high
pressure.
• The appliance cannot be tilted more than 45° during use.
• Never immerse it in water or any other type of liquid.
• Keep the appliance away from the rain and damp. Do not use it outdoors.
• Only use the appliance in containers or tanks that are not full of water or other liquids.
• Never use the appliance without water in the tank. The “low water” light (22) will tell us when we have to
fill the tank.
• Empty the water tank when the appliance is not being used.
• Never fill the tank up with any liquid other than water. Never add additives (such as perfumes, stain
removers or products with surgical spirits) as this could damage the appliance or make it dangerous to use.
• Before adding water, always unplug it and leave it to cool down completely.
• Do not overfill the tank. Never go past the maximum filling level (1.6 litres). Use the measuring jar and
funnel included in the appliance’s box.
• Check that the water tank’s plug has been fully screwed in before use.
• Only move the appliance holding the transport handle designed for this purpose (23).
• Do not touch any of the appliance’s hot areas. It is normal for the cleaner to heat up during operation.
• A small amount of water may come out of the nozzle now and then. This is completely normal, as it is only
condensation.
• The strength and the heat of the steam can damage some materials. Always check that a surface is
suitable for being used with the cleaner testing before on a hidden area.
• If you lend the cleaner to somebody, always give them these operating instructions.
For maintenance and cleaning
• Only use the original accessories included with the cleaner.
• To prevent risks, never do the repairs yourself. Ask the customer service centre and send the appliance to
be repaired by the authorised technical service or by qualified technicians who use original spare parts.
• Before cleaning the appliance or carrying out maintenance work, always unplug it and leave the cleaner
to clean down.
Disassembling the appliance
Unpack the steam cleaner and all its accessories. Check that everything is there. If possible, keep the box and
packaging to protect the appliance during transport or returning it under guarantee. Suitably dispose of the
packaging material not required. Immediately contact your distributor if you see any damaged suffered during
transport when you unpack the appliance. The cleaner cannot be used under any circumstance if it has been
damaged in any way.
Warning: make sure that the packaging materials are not picked up by children. They risk being
suffocated.
