Frequently Asked Questions - SFC 2 TEAM

How to fill the water tank?

Push the tank release button upward, remove the tank, unscrew the cap, fill with tap water (or distilled if water is hard), screw back on and put it back.

Can I use the appliance without the cloth?

No, it is imperative to place the cloth on the head before any use. The appliance should never be used without the cloth.

How to prime the appliance for the first time?

On first use, press the trigger for about 30 seconds to prime the steam circuit.

What types of floors can I clean?

The appliance is suitable for hard floors such as marble, ceramic, stone, linoleum, hardwood and treated parquet. Avoid waxed or untreated floors.

How to disinfect a specific surface?

Hold the appliance stationary over the surface for at least 8 seconds (no more than 15) to kill bacteria. The steam reaches approximately 100 °C.

What to do if steam does not come out?

Check the water level in the tank and make sure it is properly engaged. If the problem persists, check the electrical outlet.

This appliance must be grounded. Use only the proper type of outlet when plugging in the appliance; do not attempt to override the ground wire feature.

CHARACTERISTICS:

This appliance can be used anywhere and is very easy to handle; moreover, you only have to fill it with water. It cleans, degreases and disinfects completely without chemical products (approximately 100°C).

Warning! Never direct this appliance at humans or animals.

This steam cleaner is a modern way of cleaning that is effective and far more hygienic than conventional methods.

The steam cleaner achieves a high degree of hygienic and degreasing cleansing power by converting water into steam. It uses a 100% cotton floor cloth to enhance absorbency. When contact is made with floor surfaces, dirt and grime can be eliminated in a matter of seconds.

Since the steam cleaner uses the active power of steam without the use of detergents or soap, it is environmentally friendly.

The steam cleaner does not necessarily require distilled water, but residents in areas with hard water should use distilled or filtered water for a better performance. Regular descaling might be needed to maintain an optimal performance.

10 TEAM SFC 2 - 100622

When used correctly the steam cleaner can kill dust mites and some types of bacteria, such as salmonella and E. coli.

To disinfect a specific area, position the steam cleaner over the area for a minimum of eight seconds. The steam temperature will reach to approximately 100°C (212°F). Use this procedure to disinfect floors near: bathroom stools, kitchen counters, pet sleeping quarters, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The steamer is designed to thoroughly clean floor surfaces, such as marble, ceramic, stone, linoleum, sealed hard wood floors and parquet.

WARNING: ON SURFACES THAT HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH WAX, THE WAX MAY BE REMOVED BY THE HEAT AND STEAM ACTION. DO NOT USE ON UNSEALED WOOD FLOORS AND DO NOT LET THE UNIT STAND ON ANY WOOD FLOOR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE THE WOOD GRAIN TO RISE. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT A SAMPLE CLEANSING BE CARRIED OUT ON AN ISOLATED AREA OF THE FLOOR. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CHECK THE USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE SURFACE FROM THE FLOOR MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE SUITABILITY TO STEAM CLEANING.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE

1) Insert the steamer head onto the steamer body.

2) Secure the steamer head with the small Philips head screws until fully tightened (only before first use).

7) The LED will illuminate when the steamer is plugged in. NOTE: It is recommended that no other high wattage appliance is operated on the same circuit to avoid a circuit overload.
8) Holding the steamer head flat on the floor, unlock it from its parking position by tilting the steamer handle backwards.

CAUTION: WHEN USING THE STEAM CLEANER FOR THE FIRST TIME, PLEASE HOLD THE TRIGGER PRESSED DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO PRIME THE UNIT.

9) Slowly pass over the surface to be cleaned while pressing the trigger to emit steam. It is recommended to sweep or vacuum the floor prior to using the steamer.

CAUTION: TO SANITIZE AN AREA OF YOUR FLOOR, LEAVE THE STEAMER OVER THE AREA FOR A MINIMUM OF 8 SECONDS, BUT NO LONGER THAN 15 SECONDS. LEAVING THE STEAMER IN A STATIONARY POSITION FOR A LONGER PERIOD THAN

12 TEAM SFC 2 - 100622

RECOMMENDED MAY CAUSE THE BUILD-UP OF A PALE RESIDUE. THIS RESIDUE CAN BE REMOVED BY USING A DECALCIFYING PRODUCT OR WITH A FEW DROPS OF VINEGAR (SEE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE).

10) When the steamer stops emitting steam, after approximately 15 minutes of use, unplug the appliance, remove the water tank, refill, put it back in the appliance and continue cleaning.

WARNING: NEVER RUN THE STEAMER WITHOUT WATER. NEVER DIRECT STEAM AT ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL. USE THE STEAMER ON SEALED HARD FLOORS ONLY! DO NOT USE ON WAXED FLOORS!
