Frequently Asked Questions - NILO PALSON

How to fill the water tank of the Palson Nilo steam cleaner?

Unplug the appliance and press the steam production button to release pressure. Wait 5 minutes, then slowly unscrew the safety cap. Use the provided filling bottle (max 350 ml) and funnel to pour water into the boiler. Do not exceed the bottle mark.

What to do if the device does not produce steam?

First check that the socket works and the indicator light is on. Make sure the tank has water. If the light is on but no steam, wait 3-4 minutes for heating. If the problem persists, check the circuit breaker or try another socket.

Can I use detergents or vinegar in the cleaner?

No, never use detergents, alcohol-based, aromatic or descaling products. This would damage the device and could make it dangerous. Use only tap water.

How to descale the boiler?

Unplug and let the device cool. Pour a measure of water (350 ml) into the boiler, screw the cap back on, gently shake to loosen residues, then empty immediately. Do not use vinegar or chemical descaling agents.

Why does water flow from the injector?

This may be due to excess water in the tank (do not exceed 350 ml), a tilted device, or insufficient preheating. Check the level and set the device upright. Wait for the water to heat fully before using steam.

How to mount accessories on the gun?

Align the single mark of the accessory with the single mark on the articulated injector. Push until contact, then turn clockwise to align the single mark with the double mark. The accessory is then locked.

Can I iron with this device?

Yes, use the fabric accessory (with the chamois cloth). Mount it on the device or the flexible extension. Gently pass over the folds of laundry, curtains, etc. Be careful not to direct steam towards hands.

The device suddenly shuts off, what to do?

The thermal protection has triggered. Press the steam button once, unplug the device and let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Check the water level and reuse. If the problem persists, contact technical service.

How to clean windows with the Nilo?

First mount the fabric accessory on the device or extension. Remove the chamois cloth, then attach the glass washer by inserting its hinges into the tabs of the fabric accessory. Tilt upwards to lock. Do not use on cold glass to avoid breakage.

Where to find the authorized Palson technical service?

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE STARTING

Check the voltage rating.

First of all, check the voltage rating on the nameplate to make sure that the cleaner has the right voltage for your mains supply. If it does not, do not use the cleaner and consult your distributor.

WARNING: If the power cord should become damaged during cleaning, you should do the following:

• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Examine the damage to the power cord (only after removing the plug from the socket).
• NEVER use the machine with a damaged power cord or power supply.

Thermal cutout

This steam cleaner has a special thermostat that protects it against overheating. If the cleaner suddenly cuts out, press the injector button once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for the cause of the overheating, such as no water in the water container. If you find the cause, solve it and wait at least 30 minutes before trying to use the cleaner. After the 30 minutes have elapsed, replug the cleaner and turn on the power switch. If the cleaner does not heat, contact your nearest authorised service centre.

INFORMATION ABOUT STEAM:

The steam cleaner is designed as an innovation with respect to the traditional cleaning methods. This product is designed as a multiuse, multipurpose cleaner.

ATTACHMENTS

Main features of your portable steam cleaner.

The Steam Gun achieves a high cleaning and degreasing power on many surfaces, eliminating all dirt.

The Steam Gun helps preserve the environment as it uses the active power of steam, without using detergents or soap.

Some of the surfaces that can be cleaned with the Gun are the following: upholstery, bathroom and kitchen tiles, stove tops, ventilator filters taken from stove tops, windows and mirrors. The fabric attachment can be used to eliminate creases from clothes, curtains, etc., using steam. CAUTION: Do not aim the steam at people. It may cause scalds!

Other advantages of your portable steam cleaner

The Steam Gun can kill dust mites and some types of bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli, when it is used correctly. To disinfect a particular area, place the steam cleaner over the area, no more than one centimetre away, and move it slowly above the surface. Use this procedure to disinfect surfaces in: toilets and bathrooms, areas where food is prepared, cushions, bed linen, rooms where pets sleep, etc...

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Steam Gun has been designed primarily to clean hard surfaces and upholsterystries that withstand high temperatures. It must not be used on soft plastics, wood without an insulating layer or cold glass.

WARNING: On surfaces that have been treated with wax or certain unwaxed floors, the steam may dull the gloss. Do not use on wood surfaces without an insulating layer as this may cause the wood to granulate. We recommend performing a trial cleaning on an isolated part of the surface to be cleaned. Also check the manufacturer's instructions for the care and use of the object to be cleaned.

ASSEMBLY AND USE

Do not plug the unit into a mains socket until Step 7.

WARNING: After each use, press the steam production button until all the pressure has been released before removing the safety cap.

1. Unscrew the top safety cap. (After using for the first time, place the device upside down to fully empty the heater).

2. Fill the water container, included with the attachments, with water to the marked line, in one go. Use the funnel to pour the water into the heater. The heater only takes one measure at a time of the container (350 cc max.). Do not overfill.

NOTE: Never place detergents, alcohol-containing products, aromatic products or descaling products in the product as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.

1. Screw tightly the top cap on the product.

Attachments

1. Use the following guidelines to couple the straight injector, the hose and the fabric attachment: Align the single mark on the attachment with the single mark on the cleaner. Press the attachment into the jointed injector until it connects with the cleaner's structure. Turn it clockwise until the single mark on the attachment is aligned with the double mark on the cleaner. The attachment is now locked in position. The Steam Gun's jointed injector allows the steam to be aimed as wished. To use the jointed injector, align the single marks on the attachment and the cleaner, press the attachment into the jointed injector until it covers the circular seal (See page 6). Now turn it clockwise until the single mark on the attachment is aligned with the double mark on the cleaner. You can now aim the steam as you wish.

GB

1. Connecting the brush and the angled injector.

These two attachments can be applied to the (cleaner's) jointed injector, the straight injector and the extension hose. Chose the desired angle and then press the attachment into the hexagon-shaped end of the injector.

1. Connecting the glass-cleaning attachment.

CAUTION: Do not use the glass-cleaning attachment on cold glass, as this can break the glass.

First connect the fabric attachment to the cleaner or the extension hose. Remove the cloth from the fabric attachment. There are two open clips on the rear edge of the fabric attachment and two hinges on the rear edge of the glass-cleaning attachment. Place the hinges on the open clips and then swing the glass-cleaning attachment upwards towards the bottom of the fabric attachment until the two parts connect. To remove the attachment, press your thumb against the glass-cleaning attachment's grip. The two parts will separate.

Turning on your Gun

1. Plug the product into a mains socket.

The operating indicator lamp will light. The steam will be ready after approximately 3 or 4 minutes. Watch the cleaner continuously while you wait. Press the steam production button to release steam. As soon as the Steam Gun produces steam, start to use it, passing it smoothly over the surfaces to be cleaned. This is the best method for thoroughly cleaning the surfaces. To disinfect specific areas, hold the Steam Gun over the point, no more than 2 centimetres from the surface, and move slowly over the surface.

WARNING: Never place the portable steam cleaner upside down when it is being used nor aim it at people, animals or plants. Pressurised tank: Do not open the filling cap during use.

1. Filling the Steam Gun when it has run out of steam.

Unplug the cleaner. Press the steam production button until all the pressure has been released. Wait approximately 5 minutes before carefully unscrewing the safety cap. Slowly turn half a turn and wait until the whistle of the remaining steam leaving has stopped. Fully unscrew the cap and leave to cool. Slow pour one measure of the measuring container (included) in the container using the funnel (included) (350 cc). Do not overfull. Rescrew the safety cap onto the cleaner. Plug the cleaner into the mains socket and it will start to produce steam again.

WARNING: This unit operates under pressure. After each use, press the steam production button until all the pressure has been released before removing the safety cap.

Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: You must unplug the product from the mains and leave to cool before performing any cleaning and maintenance task.
