• To avoid halos around the stain it is advisable

to point the steam jet nearby the borders of
the stain first and then towards the center of it
gradually.

• Make sure that the stain has been completely

removed from the fabric before ironing it, as
the iron’s heat fixes the stain permanently.

• To obtain an even better result, it is advisable

to perform the cleaning operations on an iron-
ing table equipped with a suction board. 

• DO NOT use the steam on bloodstains as

blood coagulates with heat thus fixing the
stain permanently.

• Should the stain persist, do not dry the item

before acting a second time. Should the stain
persist even after the second attempt, it is ad-
visable to contact a qualified dry cleaning
centre.

• A summary table accurately classifying the

types of stains in relation to the advisable
cleaning method is included as part of these
instructions  (

TAB.2

).

• Always do a test on a non visible part of the

item first or on a sample.

• When dealing with coloured items, it is advis-

able to test the colour resistance on a section
of non visible material.

• Use moderately with silk items and acetate

based fibres.

• Never leave the gun within the reach of chil-

dren.

• It is recommended to disconnect the appli-

ance when it is not in use.

• Connect the steam gun to the generator as

described in paragraph “ACCESSORIES
CONNECTION”.

• Attach the appropriate accessory for the sur-

face to be treated, as described in “TIPS FOR
BETTER ACCESSORIES USAGE”

• Wait for the steam pressure indicator (

5

) to go

out. Push the steam request button (

21

) on

the steam gun to release bursts of steam. Re-
lease the button and the steam will stop.

NOTE:

during initial operation a few drops of

water mixed with steam may come out. It is
advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto
an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam
is obtained.

You can connect different types of accessories
to the steam gun according to the kind of sur-
face to be treated.

For correct connection of the accessories
proceed as follows:

• Hook the tooth which is at the bottom of the

accessories to the inside of the hose for
steam gun accessories (

20

), then turn it ac-

cording to the inclination you need until it is
completely locked (fig. 16).

1)

ATTENTION!!!

The accessories get hot du-

ring use, so be careful when you remove or
replace them, use a kitchen glove, or leave
them to cool down. Replace the accessories
only when the power supply cable is not con-
nected to the mains.

2) Before treating leather, special fabrics (espe-

cially draylon and velvet) or wooden surfaces
with steam, consult the manufacturer’s in-
structions and always proceed only after
carrying out a test on a hidden part or a sam-
ple. Allow the area treated with steam to dry
and then check whether any changes in co-
lour or deformations have occurred before
proceeding further. For extremely delicate
surfaces use the steam jet at a minimum
range.

3) When using the curtain-freshener accessory,

make sure to check the fabric manufacturers’
instructions on how to iron different fabrics.
In case of particularly delicate or valuable fa-
brics (velvet, brocade, etc.), it is necessary to
keep the accessory at a distance of at least
20 cm (8 inches) when delivering the steam.

Curtain freshener accessory (22) (Fig. 18)

• specially designed to iron curtains vertically

without removing them.

HOW TO USE IT:

Move the accessory

downwards in order to iron the curtains and to
eliminate creases or smells, the useful sponge
attached to the accessory will absorb any ex-
cess drops of steam.
To prevent the sponge wetting the curtains with
absorbed water, simply remove the sponge and
squeeze it out, then replace the sponge by reat-
taching to the accessory with velcro strips and
go on with ironing.
