carried out. Switch on the boiler using the ON/steam button.
Wait for the steam indicator light (upper green) to turn off
before dispensing steam. Adjust the strength of the steam by
turning the adjustment knob (to switch off the boiler, press the
ON/steam button again).
For this type of surface we recommend the minimum steam
level. Ensure that the steam lock on the handle is disengaged.
Press and hold the steam trigger on the handle and direct the
jet onto a cloth.
8.3 Use the cloth previously steamed to clean the surface,
avoiding prolonged use on the same spot.
9. OTHER GENERAL USES
9.1 BRIGHTENING UP CURTAINS AND DRAPES
Vacuuming the fabric just using the handle can remove mites
and dust from curtains and drapes. The steam is able to remove
odours and brighten up colours, allowing the fabric to be
washed less frequently.
For this surface, set the steam to the minimum level.
9.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY
Connect the concentrator accessory without the bristly round
brush (OPTIONAL); direct the steam directly onto the stain with
the greatest angle possible (never vertically to the surface to be
cleaned) and place a cloth beyond the stain to collect the dirt
that has been “blown” away by the steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to the minimum level.
9.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMIDIFYING ROOMS
To take care of your house plants, remove the dust from the
leaves using just the handle, vacuuming the surface: adjust the
steam to the minimum level and vacuum at a distance of 50
cm. Plants breathe better and will be cleaner and brighter.
Furthermore, you can also use the steam to refresh spaces,
especially those frequented by smokers.
10. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
You can optimise the steam flow by means of the steam
adjustment knob. To increase the flow, turn the knob clockwise.
Turning anti-clockwise reduces the flow. Here are some tips for
regulating it:
• Maximum level: to remove encrustation, stains, grease and
to sanitise;
• Medium level: for carpets, rugs, glass and floors;
• Minimum level: to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall
coverings, sofas, etc.
11. OUT OF WATER
The lack of water in the boiler is identified by the out-of-water
light coming on.
To continue with use, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the OFF/boiler switch.
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Wait five minutes and remove the safety cap, unscrewing it
without force.
• Leave the appliance to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Fill the boiler with 1l of water.
• Carefully screw the safety cap back on, checking that it is
completely closed.
12. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To clean the outside of the appliance, only use a damp cloth
and tap water.
All accessories can be cleaned using running water, ensuring
they are completely dry before the next use.
Do not use detergents of any type.
WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap spins freely or if
steam is escaping, immediately stop the operation, ensuring
that the boiler is switched off and the power cable is
unplugged from the mains. Wait for the appliance to cool (one
hour) and unscrew the cap before removal.
WARNING: Before cleaning the surface, always do a test on a
hidden part and see how it reacts to the application of steam.
WARNING: Do not direct the steam jet directly onto surfaces.
To simply vacuum surfaces it is not necessary to fill the boiler.
WARNING: Never fill the boiler as soon as the safety cap has
been opened when the boiler is still hot, even if the appliance
is unplugged from the mains. On contact with the hot, empty
boiler, cold water will evaporate producing a spray of steam
which can cause burns. Only fill the boiler when cold and
always keep your face away from the boiler mouth when
filling.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
