Filling the steam generator with hot water will shorten the heat up time. Care & Maintenance of the Steam Pocket Towel Due to the unique cleaning ability of this cloth, proper care of your micro-ber towel is required to ensure long life and continued cleaning ability.

• The rst thing you should do when you get a new micro-ber towel is to wash and dry it. During the manufacturing process the fabric has a tendency to become at as it picks up contaminants from the air and machinery. There will also be a number of loose threads that, while they cause no harm, can be annoying the rst time you use the towel.

• To clean the towel, simply wash it in your washing machine using the warm water setting.

• Always wash your towels separately from other fabrics. They have a tendency to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics and the next time you use your towel, this lint will transfer to the surface being cleaned.

• ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS, never use dry detergents as many times the granules do not fully dissolve and become trapped in the towel. This can scratch the surface that you are cleaning.

• NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the micro-ber fabric and fabric softeners deposit a coating on the micro-ber fabric what will not allow the cloth to clean efciently.

• Air dry the towel. Do not put in a clothes dryer as high heat will cause the towel to shrink and the micro-bers to break down.

• If you wash your towel on a regular basis and don’t let them get too dirty, they will last much longer. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease and other contaminants can cause the bers to break down, therefore regular cleaning will help preserve your micro-ber towels.•As you use the micro-ber towel, you will notice that sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal and you should NEVER PULL AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the thread can cause the weave to come undone. Instead, simply trim the thread with a pair of sharp scissors. 47DO220SR Attaching the Accessories to the Flexible Steam Hose Allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes before changing accessories. Window SqueegeeThis attachment is very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramic, tiled or marble surfaces. IMPORTANT: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.To use: Connect the windowsqueegee to the hand grip or use with extension tube for hard to reach surfaces.Apply steam abundantly, then remove excess water and dirt with the glass wiping edge. Extended ConcentratorUse the extended concentrator to clean under toilet rims and hard to reach places. To use: Attach the extended concentrator to the handgrip or to the extension tubes. CAUTION: Be aware of hand placement and take care not to actuate the steam discharge switch while installing or removing accessories. Nylon Bristle Brush (x2)It is best for cleaning grout in-between the tiles, ceramic and marble.To use: Screw on the nylon bristle brush on to the end of the extendedconcentrator, which then may be used directly on the hand grip or with extension tubes. Care and Maintenance If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary. Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10-15 tankfulls, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with 400 ml of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits. Descaling Your Steam Cleaner If the tap water in you area contains a high level of calcium depositsand you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tankfulls. 1.Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descalethe boiler. Allow to cool. 2.Fill the boiler with 100ml vinegar and 300 ml of water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/ller cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler. 3.After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use. 48DO220SR Water

• Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.•However, if you live in an area with hard water, use de-mineralized / distilled water when steaming light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains. IMPORTANT: Do NOTadd cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use tap water or distilled/puried water if the tap water in your area is very hard. Efcient Work

• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a towel from the top down, in this way the dirty water will not soil surfaces already cleaned.•Avoid changing brushes back and forth while cleaning.

• Start with the smallest brush to clean tight spots and corners rst.

• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as possible, otherwise it will dry and re-adhere to the surface. TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors Use the steam pocket. Move the steam pocket across the oor as if you are mopping. When one side of the towel is soiled, turn the steam pocket frame and use the other side. If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the steam pocket over the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood oor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood. To Clean Waxed Floors:Use the steam pocket with quick strokes. This will cause the dirt to be removed but not the wax. Vinyl Floors:Do not allow heat to buildup in any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl. Tile Floors:Use the concentrator with the bristle brush attached to an extension. Have the steam pocket ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the bristle brush. Remove the bristle brush and attach the steam pocket, move the steam pocket across the oor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. Do not let the area dry before you wipe with a towel. Spot Cleaning (Carpets) Use the concentrator with or without the bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried.Always test color fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning.If your steam cleaner fails to remove stubborn 49DO220SR stains a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOTadd cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use. CAUTION:Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric-especially with reds or blues -by taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a small area as far down on the back or other out of the way place on the furniture as possible. If color comes off on the towel, you may need to have the piece dry cleaned. Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using the top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off to clear the water from the glass. To do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the surface. CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks. Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces Use the bristle brush. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapor will emulsify the dirt and grease on the surface. Follow behind with a terry cloth towel over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue. Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water after it is cleaned. Bathroom Areas To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the bristle brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The window squeegee will be the most efcient way to clean the rest of the area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to penetrate the surface. This is especially helpful in the shower area if there is tile or grout. Wipe with towel. Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the steam cleaner. To clean sanitary xtures, use the concentrator with or without bristle brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue. To clean the sink and faucets, use bristle brush then nish by wiping with a towel. Soap Scum Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the surface with a small amount of water afterwards or go back over it once more with a clean terry cloth towel. Note:Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the bristle brush to break up this surface -or spray or wipe rst with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals. 50DO220SR Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to granulate on the surface. The surface will have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the bristle brush again and re-clean. Garden Furniture Use the brushes depending on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by wiping with a towel. Blinds Use the nylon bristle brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for color fastness on fabric blinds before using. Finish by wiping with a towel. Automotive For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the bristle brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by applying the vapor with the concentrator and following with a paper towel. To clean bicycles, use the bristle brush. To clean equipment, use the bristle brush, depending on the surface area. Finish by wiping down with a towel. Articial Plants Use the concentrator without a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt. Clothing A vapor cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply “vaporize” the surface from a distance (30-45 cm). The dry vapor removes wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary fabric steamers do. Nicotine and Tar Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar lm is touched by steam pocket, it immediately dissolves and ows into the steam pocket towel. You can remove it from at surfaces as fast as you can move the steam pocket over the surface. Removing Wax, Tar, Etc. Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This is accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth towel to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the concentrator. Note: Always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before you apply vapor to it. 51DO220SR ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING DOWN THE CLEANED

SURFACE WITH A TOWEL

Hints The steam cleaner has many uses that have not been mentioned. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit. However, the ways in which to use the attachments and brushes are in most cases universal. It is most helpful to always have a terry cloth towel or paper towel ready to use for removal of moisture and residue. 100% white cotton towels work best. You can clean the brushes with your steam cleaner. When cleaning the bristle brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher. Note: Wipe with a towel immediately before the cleaned area dries. When cleaning the oven, use the bristle brush to clean around the elements and drip trays. Use the bristle brush for cracks, crevices, and hard to reach areas. Refrigerator-Use the concentrator to blow away dirt in the ice machine and on door seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack the seals as chemicals often do. Can openers and other kitchen equipment can be easily cleaned with the bristle brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains around door gaskets can be removed with the bristle brush. Note:When cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning. Do not direct steam into any openings of the appliances or onto any electrical connections To clean counter tops, use the bristle brush rst in order to loosen the debris, then wipe with a terry cloth towel to nish. 52DO220SR 53LINEA 2000 - Industriezone Klein Gent - Bouwelven 12A - 2280 Grobbendonk - Tel 014/21.71.91 - Fax : 014/21,54,63
