Close the cap of the tank and reattach it to
the appliance.
This operation must always be carried out
with the power cable disconnected from the
mains.
1.3 The appliance is ready in Portable Steam
Cleaner mode.
2. PREPARATION FOR STEAM MOP
USE
2.1 Connect the Portable Steam Cleaner to
the brush, matching the pin on the mop with
the hole on the appliance (3).
2.2 Insert the tube with the handle into the
specific opening on the appliance (4A),
making sure that the pin on the tube lines up
with the hole on the appliance. To remove it,
press the button located on the tank (4B)
and pull upward.
2.3 The SV440/450_Double model has a
dispenser, located behind the floor brush, to
be used exclusively with Frescovapor, the
natural deodorant that, besides leaving a
pleasant fragrance, also captures bad smells.
Frescovapor is not included and is sold
separately. To use Frescovapor, proceed as
described in Section 12.
2.4 Unwind the power cable completely and
connect it to an appropriate socket (5) that is
earthed.
Always use the product with the cable
completely unwound.
The power indicator light will come on (red)
located around the steam adjustment knob
(6). Wait until the “steam ready” indicator
light comes on (around 15 sec., green). At this
point the appliance is ready.
Before starting to steam clean, it is good
practice to have previously swept or
vacuumed the floor or the surface to be
cleaned.
3. CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
The accessories can be connected directly to
the Portable Steam Cleaner or to the flexible
hose for greater freedom of movement.
3.1 To connect the accessories directly to the
Portable Steam Cleaner just insert them on
the point and turn them until they lock (9).
3.2 FLEXIBLE HOSE
To connect the flexible hose to the portable
cleaner, first connect the adapter to the
cleaner (7), after which connect the flexible
hose to the adapter and turn it clockwise until
a click is heard (8). To remove the flexible
hose from the adapter, pull the lever located
on the connection of the hose and rotate it in
the opposite direction.
• To connect the various accessories to the
flexible hose, first attach the lance to the
tube.
3.3 LANCE
The lance can be connected to the portable
cleaner with the adapter, or to the flexible
hose.
To connect it, just attach the lance to the
adapter or the flexible hose and then rotate
the lance in the direction indicated by the
arrow (10).
The following accessories can be attached to
the lance:
• Brush with window-cleaner accessory,
concentrator, brushes and grout accessory.
Just insert them on the point of the lance
and turn them until they lock (11).
4. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
You can optimise the steam flow by means of
the steam adjustment knob (12). You can
increase the steam flow by turning the
control knob in a clockwise direction. Turning
it in an anti-clockwise direction reduces the
steam flow. Here are some suggestions for
the choice of steam flow level:
•Maximum level : to remove scaling, stains,
grease;
•Medium level: to clean windows, floors and
clean and brighten rugs and carpets;
•Minimum level: to clean parquet and
laminate, delicate fabrics, upholstery, sofas
and mattresses, etc. and to steam plants.
5. CLEANING FLOORS
Before starting to steam clean, it is good
practice to have previously swept or
vacuumed the floor.
Ensure that the points in Sections 1 and 2
have been followed.
5.1 Attach the supplied cloth to the floor
brush. To make it easier to attach, the cloth
has an easy lock/release system to avoid
having to bend over and use your hands. Just
place the cleaning side of the cloth on the
floor and rest the brush on top (13).
Do not add other substances or additives to
the tank.
Before using the appliance on delicate surfa-
ces, ensure that the area in contact with the
surface is free from foreign bodies that
could cause scratches.
