4. OPERATION
p
WARNING! Ensure that you have read and understood and that you apply the safety instructions in Section 1.
Important:
Always confirm that the surface/item to be cleaned will not be damaged by hot steam/water.
4.1.
Remove water filler cap (fig.2.H) by pressing down and turning anticlockwise.
4.2.
Fill with plain tap water (aprox. 4 litres). Replace filler cap by screwing on until knob rotates freely, then press down on knob and tighten.
Note: Do not use any detergents or solvents
4.3.
Connect the hose by inserting hose connector (fig.2.D) into cleaner socket (fig.2.G). Press red latch button (fig.2.N) during fitting
and ensure latch pin engages in hole in socket.
4.4.
Confirm that the steam flow control (fig.2.C) is closed and that the switches on the gun (fig.3.1) are off (O).
4.5.
Connect plug (fig.2.L) to mains supply and switch on green main switch (fig.2.A) and yellow heater switch (fig.2.B). Pilot lights within switches will illuminate.
4.6.
Press down the retaining pin on the gun (fig.3.2) and fit the required nozzle, ensuring that the pin engages with the hole in the nozzle
sleeve. If necessary one of, or both, the extension tubes may be fitted between gun and nozzle.
4.7.
When the green heater switch pilot light goes out the unit is ready for use. Press the white gun switch (fig.3.1) on (I) to start the flow of
steam to the nozzle. Initially there may be some water ejected from the nozzle until the hose heats up.
s
DANGER! The dry steam is extremely hot and may well be difficult to see. ALWAYS be aware of the position of the nozzle
with respect to yourself and others.
4.8.
Adjust the flow of steam, with the control knob (fig.2.C), to suit the task. It is advisable to begin with reduced flow and increase
gradually until the required level of cleaning is reached.
4.9.
When the water level gets low the warning light (fig.2.K) comes on and an audible warning sounds. Use the remaining steam, turn
off the heater switch and exhaust any remaining pressure through the nozzle (note that, for safety, the filler cap cannot be removed
whilst there is pressure in the tank). Now remove filler cap, refill with water, replace cap and turn on heater switch.
4.10. If a hot water jet is required, either to remove stubborn dirt or to rinse after steam cleaning, switch on red switch (fig.2.P) and then operate
the blue switch (fig.3.1) on the gun.
Only the long nozzle (fig.1.4) should be used with water.
s
DANGER! The water is extremely hot. ALWAYS be aware of the position of the nozzle with respect to yourself and others.
