Proceed as described in the “ACCESSORIES
CONNECTION” paragraph. To obtain steam from
the stain remover gun, press the steam request
button (
10
). The powerful jet of steam produced
can be used effectively as follows, depending on
the type and size of stain.
• If operating on a SUPERFICIAL STAIN, direct
the jet of steam to skim the fabric in proximity of
the stain in order to project the dirt with the pres-
sure against a cloth used to collect it (fig.14).
• If operating on a DEEP STAIN, turn the item in-
side out and act on the fabric from the inside. Af-
ter resting it on a sponge, direct the jet of steam
onto the stain so that the dissolved dirt can exit
from the opposite side of the fabric and be absor-
bed by the sponge (fig.15).
• Simple methods are often the most effective: a
shot of steam can sometimes be sufficient to eli-
minate even the most resistant stains.

• 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 gra-
dually.
• Make sure that the stain has been completely re-
moved 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 ironing ta-
ble equipped with a suction board.
• DO NOT use the steam on bloodstains as blood
coagulates with heat thus fixing the stain perma-
nently.
• 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 advi-
sable 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 advisable
to test the colour resistance on a section of non
visible material.
• Use moderately with silk items and acetate ba-
sed fibres.
• Never leave the gun within the reach of children.
• It is recommended to disconnect the appliance
when it is not in use.

• Connect the steam gun to the generator as de-
scribed in paragraph “ACCESSORIES CON-
NECTION”.
• Attach the appropriate accessory for the surface
to be treated, as described in “TIPS FOR BET-
TER ACCESSORIES USAGE”
• Wait for the steam pressure indicator (
5
) to go
out (about 15 minutes). Push the steam request
button (
10
) on the steam gun to release bursts of
steam. Release the button and the steam will
stop.
NOTE:
during initial operation a few drops of wa-
ter mixed with steam may come out. It is advisa-
ble to direct the first jets of steam onto an old
cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtai-
ned.

You can connect different types of accessories to
the steam gun according to the kind of surface to
be treated.
For correct connection of the accessories pro-
ceed as follows:
• Hook the tooth which is at the bottom of the ac-
cessories to the inside of the hose for steam gun
accessories (
18
), then turn it according to the in-
clination you need until it is completely locked
(fig. 16).
1)
ATTENTION!!!
The accessories get hot during
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 connected to the
mains.
2) Before treating leather, special fabrics (especially
draylon and velvet) or wooden surfaces with
steam, consult the manufacturer’s instructions
and always proceed only after carrying out a test
on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area trea-
ted with steam to dry and then check whether
any changes in colour or deformations have oc-
curred 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’ in-
structions on how to iron different fabrics.
In case of particularly delicate or valuable fabrics
(velvet, brocade, etc.), it is necessary to keep the
accessory at a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in-
ches) when delivering the steam.
