5. Accessories
The accessories can be attached to the main body of the
steam cleaner by removing the floor head. Press the lock
button in to remove the floor head.
Fit the required accessory by aligning the hole in the side
of the accessory with the lock button on the main body of
the steam cleaner. Ensure that the lock button clicks firmly
into place.
Squeegee:
For cleaning glass and mirror panels. Use the
squeegee at a very low steam flow. Achieve this by
adjusting the steam regulator. A cloth can be used to wipe
the blade and remove excess water during usage. For small
window panels, remove the squeegee tool and spray the
steam directly onto the surface. Use the squeegee
separately to wipe away the moisture.
Spot Brush:
For cleaning the grout between tiles or
stubborn marks and stains on hard surfaces. Use at
medium or high steam flow.
Utility Tool:
For cleaning tiled surfaces, cabinets and
worktops in kitchens and bathrooms. Use on a low to
medium steam flow. Cover the utility tool with the
elasticised cloth (Fig5/1).
Deflector Nozzle:
For cleaning sanitary ware such as
toilet bowls, taps or drain covers. Use this nozzle at
maximum steam flow. Point it directly at non-permanent
stains on carpets or upholstery whilst holding a clean cloth
near the stained area to capture any loosened dirt.
NOTE: When the steam cleaner is used for cleaning in
the overhead position, increase the steam flow to
maximum and allow approximately 30 seconds for the
steam to be generated in full. Now the flow can be
reduced to the level required for the particular
accessory being used. Shake the steam cleaner gently
to ensure that the weighted tubing inside the tank is
in the correct (immersed) position.
6. Maintenance
After Each Use
NOTE: When you have finished steam cleaning, ensure
that both the power switch and steam switch are
turned off and that the plug is removed from the
electrical outlet.
Empty any remaining water from the tank by unscrewing
the water tank cap and turning the steam cleaner upside
down. This should be done over a sink or outdoors.
Store the steam cleaner by using the hanging strap at the
top of the handle if needed.
Cleaning the Steam Generator
IMPORTANT: Only follow these instructions
when the steam cleaner is completely cooled
down. Also ensure that the plug is removed from the
electrical outlet.
Twist the steam nozzle, releasing it from its locked
position. Pull upwards; this will remove it completely from
the steam chamber (Fig6/1).
Insert the nozzle brush into the chamber (Fig6/2).
