5. EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE
DIRT COLLECTION BUCKET
When the dirt sucked into the bucket reaches
the maximum permitted level, vacuuming will
be automatically blocked by the special float.
At the same time the bucket full light (M) will
come on intermittently.
If the water in the dirt collection bucket is
very dirty, replace it in any case.
To empty the bucket, proceed as follows:
• Turn the appliance off by pressing the main
switch (I) and disconnect the power supply
cable from the mains.
• Release the locking lever of the dirt collec-
tion bucket (F) and slide the bucket unit
out of the appliance (Pic. 9).
• Lift the lid of the dirt collection bucket.
• Clean the dirt collection bucket.
• If you want to continue to work top up the
water level as indicated in the chapter
“PREPARING THE DIRT COLLECTION
BUCKET".
• Reposition the bucket unit of the appliance.
6. PRESSURE INDICATOR
The product has an indicator (J) for di-
splaying the operating pressure.
7. OPTIONAL KITS
USE
Before steam treating leather, special fabrics
and wood surfaces, consult the manufactu-
rer's instructions and always carry out a test
on a hidden part or on a sample of the mate-
rial. Allow the steamed part to dry to make
sure that no changes in colour or deforma-
tions have occurred.
Please pay careful attention when cleaning
wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.). and
treated terracotta flooring as prolonged use
of steam may damage the wax, polish or co-
lour of the surfaces to be cleaned.
We therefore recommend only steaming
these surfaces for short periods of time, or
cleaning using a previously steamed cloth.
On particularly delicate surfaces (i.e. synthe-
tic materials, lacquered surfaces, etc.) we re-
commend using minimum steam. To clean
glass surfaces in particularly cold seasons,
preheat the windows starting from a distance
of about 50 cm from the surface. To take
care of your plants, we recommend spraying
them from a minimum distance of 50 cm.
7.1 STEAM & VACUUMING KIT PAEU0374
This kit makes it possible to use the appliance
as a steam cleaner with integrated vacuum
cleaner to vacuum, clean and sanitise all sur-
faces. The compact size of the universal
brush (3) - which is connected to the flexible
hose (1) by means of extension hoses (2) -
enables it to be used also in small spaces. The
cloth (7) makes it possible to collect the dirt
dissolved by the steam and is suitable for all
floor types.
The interchangeable frames of the brush ena-
ble it to be used on all surfaces for several
functions: the bristle frame (6) is recommen-
ded only for the vacuuming function; the
hard floor frame (4) for recovering damp on
smooth surfaces and the carpet frame (5) for
cleaning carpets and rugs.
To apply the different frames on the universal
brush, move the two slides located on the
back of the brush outward and apply the
frame indicated for the type of surface to be
cleaned. To lock the frame move the two sli-
des inwards. Do not steam directly on woo-
den surfaces.
7.2 STEAM KIT WITH VAPORFLEXI BRUSH
PAEU0376
The innovative Vaporflexi brush (11) used with
the special microfibre cloth (12) guarantees
optimal steam delivery and its distribution
over the whole surface of the cloth, for even
more effective and quick cleaning on all sur-
faces, even the most delicate ones.
Extremely easy to handle, it guarantees more
freedom of movement and the chance to
reach and clean even the smallest of spaces.
The kit also includes the flexible hose (9) and
the extension hoses (10).
7.3 EXTRACTION/INJECTION KIT PAEU0378
The brushes for injection/extraction washing
spray and vacuum at the same time making it
possible to deep clean carpets, rugs, sofas,
WARNING: Turn the appliance off and only
restart it when the level of the water in the
bucket has been reinstated as described in
the chapter “PREPARING THE DIRT COL-
LECTION BUCKET”. Turning it back on im-
mediately may damage the Hepa filter (Q).
To resume the cleaning operations, proceed
as illustrated below, reinstating then the wa-
ter level in the container.
Empty the dirt collection bucket before put-
ting the appliance away.
Before removing the cloth from the brush,
wait a few minutes to allow the cloth to cool.
