odours and brighten up colours, allowing the
fabric to be washed less frequently.
10.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS
AND UPHOLSTERY
Connect the adapter, direct the steam
directly onto the stain with the greatest angle
possible (never vertically with respect 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.
10.3
TAKING
CARE
OF
PLANTS
AND
HUMIDIFYING ROOMS
To care for your house plants, remove the
dust from the leaves using the steam. Steam
the surface directly from the handle, at a
minimum 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.
11. OUT OF WATER
When the product no longer dispenses
steam, it means that there is no water in the
boiler.
To continue with use, proceed as follows:
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Act on the steam request lever until steam
flow ceases.
• Wait ten minutes and remove the safety
cap, unscrewing it without force.
• Leave the appliance to cool for at least 10
minutes.
• Filling the boiler as indicated on chapter 1.
• 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. After using the brushes,
we recommend letting the bristles cool down
in their natural position, in order to avoid any
deformation.
Do not use detergents of any type.
Regularly check the status of the coloured
washer located in the connector assembly. If
necessary, replace with the appropriate spare
part, as described below.
Carry out the same inspection on the
connection seals of the handle of the flexible
hose, the extension hoses and the accessory
adapter.
Every 2 months, rinse the boiler with tap
water.
13. KALSTOP optional
Kalstop
is
thelimescale
product
for
appliances with boiler for ironing and steam
cleaning.
Regular use of Kalstop, every time the tank is
filled with water:
- Extends the life of the appliance.
- Allows emission of a “drier” steam
- Prevents limescale build up.
- Protects the walls of the boiler.
- Contributes to saving energy.
14. TRANSPORT
One of the great advantages of this device is
that it can be carried anywhere, thanks to the
handle or the shoulder strap.
To carry with the strap, attached the carrying
strap to the two holes (13)-(14).
WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap
spins freely or if steam is escaping, immedia-
tely stop the operation, ensuring that the
boiler is switched off and the power cable is
unplugged from the mains. Wait for the ap-
pliance to cool (two hour) and unscrew the
cap before removal. TAKE CARE OF YOUR
FACE !!!
-
Remove the damaged washer.
-
Insert the new washer, attaching it on the
steam nozzle and pushing it into place.
-
Lubricate the gasket with silicone grease
or Vaseline, or alternatively with small
quantities of vegetable oils.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
WARNING: Never fill the boiler as soon as
the safety cap is opened. The boiler is still
hot, even if the appliance is unplugged. On
contact with the hot, empty boiler, cold wa-
ter will evaporate producing a spray of
steam which could cause burns. Only fill the
boiler when it is cold and always keep your
face away from the boiler opening when fil-
ling.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
