Caution:

Glass may crack if subjected to thermal shock! Pre-heat areas of glass prior to steam cleaning by spraying steam in a wider arc from a distance of 20 – 25 cm. Slowly reduce the distance to 10 – 15 cm to heat the glass up further.

3.1.9 Professional Steam Iron

Before using the steam iron

When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight amount of smoke coming from the appliance. This is normal and soon stops.

With initial use of the iron and after a lengthy period of storage, it should be tested out on an old piece of fabric to determine whether or not the ironing surface and the water container are clean.

The professional steam iron supplied with the appliance may also be connected to the Vapormate M 388 steam cleaner as an alternative to the steam hose. Stand the steam iron on the iron rest supplied, flip the black cover flap (1) down and push the steam connector on the end of the steam iron hose (2) firmly nose down into the steam socket on the front of the Vapormate M 388 until it clicks into place (Fig. 17).

Fig. 17 1 2 — Nose down

As the iron may be used both vertically and horizontally, it is perfectly suited to steam cleaning curtains and items of clothing (see page 14, Fig. 24).

Warning! The steam iron must be set down on a heat-resistant rest when the steam cleaner is switched on.

Press in both release buttons on the left and right of the steam connector and pull it out of the steam socket to unplug the steam iron.

3.2 Filling the Water Tank

The Vapormate M 388 has a built-in water tank holding 1.6 litres. Switch the steam cleaner off and remove the mains plug from the socket. The steam cleaner must always be disconnected from the mains when filling or topping up with water. Unscrew the tank cap (Fig. 18) by pressing the cap down and simultaneously turning it anti-clockwise. Use the funnel and measuring jug supplied when filling with water (Fig. 19).

Fig. 18 Fig. 19

Only fill with pure water without additives of any kind, e.g. perfume, cleaning agents, alcohol, as they could damage the machine and make it dangerous to use. It is advisable to use distilled water to prevent lime-scale deposits if your water is very hard (over 2.5 mmol/l or 21 °dH). Otherwise boil the water first to extend the appliance's service life.

Caution: Do not exceed the maximum quantity of 1.6 litres when filling the tank!

Screw the tank cap firmly back on by turning it clockwise under pressure.

Tip: The heating up time will be shortened if warm water is used when filling.

4.1 Connection to Mains Supply

Plug the steam cleaner's mains plug into a properly installed socket (Fig. 20) and switch the appliance on by pressing the On/Off switch (Fig. 21).

Fig. 20 Fig. 21

Heating pilot lamp Operating pilot lamp

The green operating pilot lamp and the orange heating pilot lamp (Fig. 21) light up. The operating pilot lamp lights up as soon as the Vapormate M 388 has been plugged in and switched on. The heating pilot lamp indicates that the steam cleaner is currently heating up. The operating temperature is reached after approx. 11 minutes and the orange heating pilot lamp goes out. The appliance is now ready for use.

4.2 Using the Steam Cleaner

Warning:

Never aim the steam outlet of the steam gun at people, animals, plants or electrical systems (e.g. oven or socket). There is a risk of scalding or electric shock!

NOTE:

Residual steam continues to escape for a few seconds after switching off the steam function.

Release the locking device (child-proof device) by pushing the yellow triangular pin on the right-hand side of the steam gun in towards the left (Fig. 22). Hot steam now escapes if the steam button is operated. First of all hold the steam gun over an old cloth to absorb any initial spray water. Operate the steam button until the steam is emitted evenly. Cleaning can now begin.

Caution:

Always test the steam cleaner first on inconspicuous or invisible areas of the surfaces or fabrics to be cleaned to check their tolerance to hot steam.

• Steam may result in bleaching of painted/varnished wood.
• Steam may discolour shiny plastics.
• Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the temperature of steam.
• Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without first having carried out a suitability test on a concealed area.

For understandable reasons, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to objects, materials, people, animals or plants that occurs due to unsuitable use of hot steam or due to improper use of the appliance.

NOTE:

The Vapormate is fitted with an over-heating cut-out. The appliance switches off automatically on reaching a temperature of 180 °C to prevent overheating. Disconnect from the mains immediately by removing the plug. The appliance may be operated again after a 30-minute cooling period.

Do not aim the steam outlet at one point for too long. Loosen the dirt by moving the steam jet backwards and forwards. The flow rate of the steam emitted can be regulated by turning the steam controller and can be adjusted to the level of dirtiness. Turn the steam controller clockwise for less steam, and anti-clockwise for more steam (Fig. 23).

Fig. 22

Fig. 23 MIN MAX

Do not tip or tilt the appliance by more than 45^ during use and ensure that the appliance always stands on a firm base. One full tank is enough for a maximum of 50 minutes use. Do not leave the machine unsupervised whilst switched on and if necessary use the childproof lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the triangular yellow pin on the left-hand side of the steam gun in to the right.

Warning:

The housing and accessories become hot during operation! Allow the appliance to cool down before changing the accessories. Never open the tank cap whilst the steam cleaner is switched on as the tank is under pressure!

4.3

Operating the Professional Steam Iron

Use an ironing board that is suitable for use with a steam iron. Steam irons have a grid-like rest that allows steam to circulate. The steam iron may be used to iron all types of fabrics. Set the required ironing temperature on the temperature controller below the handle of the iron.

Caution:

Always pay attention to information found on the fabrics to be ironed.

NOTE:

Place the iron on the iron stand supplied or stand the iron upright.

Temperature		●	●●	[IMAGE]	●●●
Material	Silk	Fibres, e.g. synthetic wool fibres,e.g. nylon	Fibres, e.g. or cotton may polyester linen	Fabrics that be ironed at	high temperature

The pilot lamp on the handle of the iron lights up and indicates that the sole plate of the iron is heating up. The pilot light goes out when the set ironing temperature has been reached. The iron is now ready for use. The heating switches back on if the temperature of the iron drops during use. Thus the iron maintains the correct temperature during the entire ironing process.

Tip: As the iron heats up more quickly than it cools down, it is practical to sort the washing beforehand and start with the fabrics that require the lowest temperature.

Generally speaking, steam operation is suitable for all items of clothing and household fabrics. All items of clothing that are identified with two or three dots on the ironing label can be treated with steam without any problems.

Caution: Polyacrylic und acetate/polyamide mixtures and similar materials may not be treated with steam.

Fig. 24 Heating pilot lamp Steam button Locking element 5-15 cm Temperature controller

Vertical steam operation is particularly well suited to removing creases from hanging fabrics. Hold the iron vertically approx. 5-15 cm away from the material and press the steam button (Fig. 24). By pressing the steam button, steam flows out of the tip of the iron for as long as the button is pressed in. For continuous steam whilst ironing, push the black locking element on the steam button in the direction of the handle whilst keeping the steam button pressed in. Steam now flows out of the iron continuously. Push the locking element forward again to shut off the flow of steam.

Before storing the iron

Re-set the iron's temperature control to the 0 position and wait until the appliance has cooled down completely before storing it away.

4.4 Topping Up with Water

The tank must be topped up if the steam flow emitted starts to decrease.

Switch off the steam cleaner by pressing the On/Off switch. The green operating pilot lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun to release the remaining pressure and then lock the gun. Remove the mains plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down. Take care; the water in the tank is still hot even after 5 minutes! Open the tank cap by pressing it down and turning it anti-clockwise.

Warning: Hot steam may escape on opening! There is a risk of burns from the cap thread and the tank!

Top up with water using the measuring jug and funnel (see page 10 "Filling the Water Tank") then carefully close the tank cap again. The steam cleaner can now be plugged in again and switched on. The Vapormate M 388 is ready for use as soon as the heating pilot lamp goes off.

4.5 Ending Operation and Storage

Switch the appliance off. The green operating pilot lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun (Fig. 25) to release the remaining pressure. Secure the steam gun by pushing the locking pin on the left-hand side of the handle in to the right. Remove the mains plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down. Empty the water tank so that no deposits can settle (Fig. 26).

Fig. 25 Fig. 26

Line drawing of a car interior showing dashboard controls and a hand holding a water droplet (no text or symbols)

Do not close the water tank until it has dried out completely. The steam cleaner must have cooled down completely before being put away. Store the appliance so that it is out of the reach of children. The extension tube with assembled floor nozzle may be inserted in the parking holder on the back of the appliance for storage purposes or for short breaks whilst working.

5.1

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning:

Always ensure before cleaning or maintaining the steam cleaner that it is switched off and unplugged from the mains.

Only clean the appliance by wiping over the housing with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, abrasives or alcohol since they may damage the housing.

We recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 filling operations at the latest if your water hardness is above 1.8 mmol/l ( 10^ dH). Information regarding local water hardness may be obtained from your water or utility company. We recommend filling the water tank with water and giving it a good shake to clean it. This will loosen any lime-scale that has been deposited on the bottom of the steam cleaner. Then pour out the water and allow the tank to dry out completely before closing it.

The water tank should be treated with limescale remover approx. every 6 months to prolong the steam cleaner's life.

Place one or at most two limescale removal sticks in 1 litre of warm water (50 °C) and fill the water tank with it. Allow the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes and then pour away the water with the dissolved solids. Repeat this process if necessary and then rinse out the tank with water.

Disposal After End of Useful Life:

If the appliance's useful life has come to an end, particularly if malfunctions have arisen, the worn out appliance should be rendered unusable by removing the plug from the socket and cutting off the power cable. Please dispose of the appliance properly through your public waste authority. Contact your local waste disposal service or the bulky refuse acceptance centre.

5.2 Troubleshooting
