suring that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area.
If in doubt, and on sensitive surfaces like fabrics, leather and wood it is always better
to ask advice from your Steam Cleaner dealer.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors etc.) take great care as a too long ap-
plication of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of
the surfaces cleaned. We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such sur-
faces only for brief periods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the
steam.
• Please pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors: a too long application of
steam could damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfaces.
• Delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend
that the small brush should always be covered with a one cloth to reduce the intensity
of the steam, and (on machines with steam variation control) with the steam set at
low level.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the
hand gun from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres.
120° STEAM NOZZLE (16)
The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly to the gun or together with the exten-
sion tubes) allows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessible
locations, such as radiators, door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterilising toilet
bowls.

STEAM GUN (2)
The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment
without connecting the brushes. The more resistant the stain, the closer you should hold
the gun; the steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should
however always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive sponge-if the spot is a diffi-
cult one to remove) after using the gun.
The steam gun is particularly efficient at:
-
breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush;
-
cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces;
-
cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts;
-
cleaning window shutters, heaters, car interiors;
-
spraying plants (from a distance);
-
removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be connected to one or both extension tubes.
LARGE BRUSH (8)
To wash floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under the brush and swing back and forth
without applying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth when the first one is im-
pregnated with dirt. Use the brush directly without the cloth on particularly dirty or in-
crusted areas and in spaces between the tiles: swing the brush sideways to detach the
dirt. Highly obstinate stains may require a steam gun treatment before the brush and
cloth are used (an old bath towel is an ideal cloth) . The same procedures apply to ceil-
ings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper: in this case the cloth can easily be fastened
around the brush and held in place by the 4 clips (
9
) on the brush itself. Vaporetto Eco-
logical System is ideal for both synthetic and wool rugs as well as for all types of car-
pets. Its use will ensure total hygiene, revive colours and restore the original brilliance of
the pile. The treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wish, with no damage what-
soever. Drying occurs practically at once. Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times (accord-
ing to the length and resistance of the pile) and fasten it onto the brush. Move the brush
rapidly in all directions without applying any pressure. You should avoid lingering in the
same place, as this may soak the area. Particularly dirty rugs may need several treat-
ments. Obstinate stains may require the use of the steam gun prior to treatment.
SMALL BRUSH (12)
The small brush is designed to perform the same operation as the large brush, only
on smaller surfaces. It can be connected to the steam gun with one or two extension
tubes (
7
).
For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth.
The warm moist cloth will pick up dirt and static, so that the furniture remains cleaner
longer thanks to the absence of sticky film from chemical cleaning products.
Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the treatment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth
around the brush then pass it over the window pane (or mirror) to remove the greasy
film. Finally, spray the surface with the steam gun and wipe dry with a clean cloth. In cold
weather, window panes will require pre-heating with the steam gun (from a distance of
10/15 cm), prior to the actual cleaning with the brush.

• Before attempting any maintenance operation, be sure to always disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains
• Normal tapwater can be used. However, as hard water by its nature contains lime-
stone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard water areas we re-
com-mend the use of our natural-base decalcifier
KALSTOP FP 2003
.
• Apply a little Vaseline to the cap thread every 4-5 months to prevent sticking.
• We recommend that the bristles of the brushes are allowed to cool down in their
normal position after use, so as to avoid any mis-shaping.
•
Check periodically the condition of the coloured washer connections on the
the central connector
(
4
)
. If necessary, replace the washers with the spare
washers supplied
(
15
)
.
Make the same check also on the connection washers of the extension tubes (
7
) and
of the steam gun (
2
).
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or
detergents which may harm the body material.
• If cap sticks closed after cooling, eliminate all residual pressure from system. With
generator “on/off” switch on machine in “off” position and accessories switch on ma-
chine at “on” position, operate hand gun until all pressure is exhausted. This allows
safety cap to open.

PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH PRESSING IRON MODEL INOX
Stainless steel soleplate with 11 holes concentrated at the point. Indicator light to indi-
cate selected temperature has been reached. Heat resistant iron rest.
WINDOW SQUEEGEE TOOL (18,19,20)
The Window Squeegee Tool allows you to clean effectively and rapidly all glass surfaces
without using detergents. Your glass wilI remain cleaner longer thanks to the absence of
layers of film normally left behind by chemical cleaning products on which new dust and
grease can attach itself.
Cleaning glass is done in two stages:
-
Spraying the steam onto the surface to be cleaned to loosen the dirt (not touching
with blade).
-
Pulling the blade straight down the window surface from top to bottom without apply-
ing the steam, to take away the dirt.
-
To clean especially large glass surfaces, attach the Window Squeegee Tool to the ex-
tension tubes.
